Marcus Paige scores 34 in playoff victory
Posted Feb 25, 2012
Jerel Moore got to end the game with a windmill dunk, capping a 27-point night for the City High senior. But the rest of the night belonged to Marcus Paige and Linn-Mar. The fifth-ranked Lions topped the Little Hawks 76-65 in a Class 4A substate semifinal Friday at Linn-Mar. Paige, who has signed to play at North Carolina, finished with 34 points for Linn-Mar. “There’s nothing you can really do about that,” Moore said. “He’s one of the best players in the nation."
