CHARLESTON — The North Marion Huskies girls’ basketball team is coming home as champions ... again.

The Huskies went wire-to-wire as No. 1 this season and won their second straight Class AAA state title with a 58-45 win over South Charleston Saturday at the Charleston Civic Center.

“It feels pretty great,” North junior Hailey Garrett said about her team’s second championship.

The Huskies will be honored with a parade today to celebrate the title.

The team will start at the old Dunbar school at 1:30 p.m. and parade all the way to North Marion High School where a reception and celebration will be held.
