Mississinewa unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They received a blow on Wednesday as they fell 68-49 to the Marion Giants. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Indians of the 64-58 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in November of 2023.
Mississinewa's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Kiontaye Woods, who went 5 for 7 en route to 17 points plus eight rebounds, and Seth Yoder, who scored ten points plus two steals. What's more, Woods also racked up two assists, the most he's had since back in December of 2023.
Tim Jones went supernova for Marion, going 13 for 21 en route to 31 points plus eight steals and five assists. Amar Rogers was another key player, going 7 for 12 en route to 15 points.
Mississinewa wasted no time getting back out on the court and has already played their next game, a 66-65 win against Huntington North on the 30th. Marion has also already played their next contest, a 69-62 victory against New Castle on the 30th.
