RACHEL — It was ultimately a tale of two halves at Roy Michael Field on Saturday afternoon in the WVSSAC Class AAA quarterfinal playoff matchup between North Marion and Nitro, as the Huskies held onto a 10-point lead at the break.

Unfortunately, it would be the Wildcats coming out on top despite the Huskies' strong start, effectively ending the playoff run for Marion County squads in a 57-38 Nitro victory.
