Giants 1 Game Away From Perfection...John Wall Excited About the JBC

The Marion Giants (15-2, 6-0) are one conference game away from perfection. They clinched at least a share of the conference championship this past Saturday night by punishing Logansport 64-49. Scott Wood's 23 points led all scorers, which is no rarity for him. The game against Muncie Central (8-9, 4-1) this Friday night is the last conference game that looms on the schedule for Marion. The Giants do have an intimidating task tomorrow night as non-conference opponent Monroe Central (14-3) comes into town.

In clinching at least a share of the conference championship this past Saturday, the Giants have now won 3 straight North Central Conference championships (21 in school history). With a victory over Muncie Central on Friday night the Giants will clinch the Conference championship outright. Scott Wood will definitely be enrolling at NC State next season with the taste of winning and success on his lips.

John Wall is excited about the opportunity to play in Madison Square Garden on April 18th in the Jordan Brand Classic. Wall's experience in the Classic will be bittersweet as he is not allowed to play in the McDonald's All-American game due to the fact that he is a 5th year Senior. Wall is letting this fact motivate him to unleash all of his freakish ability and talent before the New York crowd in April. Rival's caught up with him the other day and Wall had this to say:

"Playing in the Jordan game means a lot because it is tough that I can't play in the McDonald's game," Wall told Rivals.com. "But I still get to play in the Jordan game, and it's going to be fun just like the McDonald's game. And it's at [Madison Square Garden], which is one of the best courts to play basketball. So hopefully I'll be able to show the people in New York what kind of basketball I can play."
