Sophomore Zach Driscoll led all scorers with 22 points, and also grabbed a team-high eight rebounds and three steals, in MFL MarMac’s Class 2A state quarterfinal loss to Pella Christian on March 6.

Carver Blietz-Bentien, with Bulldog head coach Eric Dettbarn looking on in the background, puts up a shot against the Eagles. He scored 15 points.

Parker Kuehl edges past a Pella Christian defender in Monday’s game, which was MFL MarMac’s first state appearance since 2013.

Wyatt Powell tries to poke the ball away from an Eagle player in the March 6 game. The Bulldogs came away with eight steals.

Senior Hunter Meyer's defensive presence will be missed, according to junior Carver Blietz-Bentien. "He may not have put up the points, but he definitely locked down on defense and really pushed around those big guys,” Blietz-Bentien said.
