McDonald's All-American Game: Marcus Paige puts Linn-Mar back in spotlight
Posted Mar 28, 2012
Marcus Paige’s phone started ringing when he was named to play in the McDonald’s All-American game. Now the Linn-Mar of Marion star is creating his own basketball buzz. Wednesday night, Paige will become the seventh Iowan to play in the nation’s most prestigious high school all-star game. He’ll run the court at Chicago’s United Center, where Michael Jordan once soared. It will be the third consecutive year an Iowan will participate in the McDonald’s games. Harrison Barnes of Ames played in the 2010 game.
