Marauders fall to Trojans

The Mt. Vernon Marauders traveled to New Castle on Tuesday night and lost a tough Hoosier Heritage Conference matchup 51-27.

The host Trojans won their third straight game and improved to 4-3 in the HHC, which places them fourth behind Pendleton Heights (6-0), New Palestine (6-1) and Greenfield-Central (5-2).

The Marauders dropped to 1-5 and 6-15 overall. Before falling to rival Greenfield-Central on Friday, the team had won four of its previous six games.

They have one more regular-season game remaining at Delta today where they will look to snap their two-game losing streak before the sectional tournament begins next week.
