But it was Matthew Langhi, who led all scorers with 35 points, and the No. 16 Marshall County Marshals (25-8) that came out on top, besting Jacob Spurlock’s 29 points for the Boyd County Lions (29-7) in a thrilling 67-63 first-round victory.
Langhi earned his 35 points inside the arc, shooting 12-26 from the field and 11-13 from the free-throw line.
