Bears hold off Huskies, 57-49

By Mike Bowen

FAIRMONT — Fairmont Senior head coach David Retton wasn’t happy with the way his team played Wednesday against rival North Marion.

But he was happy with the result — a 57-49 Polar Bear win over the Huskies.

“It’s a win; that’s about all we can say about that game,” Retton said. “Overall, our team effort, our intensity, wasn’t good. Our energy wasn’t good. I don’t care who the opponent is, what their record is, we have to go out and get our game in every night, and I don’t think we did tonight.”

The two teams played fairly even through the first half with Fairmont Senior stretching its lead to 11 at one point in the second quarter before North brought it back down to eight at halftime, 28-20.
