It's always a good time when Oakfield-Alabama and Caledonia-Mumford get to play each other in the finals of the Cal-Mum Christmas Tournament.
Cal-Mum coach Dan Dickens is an O-A grad.
But that isn't going to happen this year as the Hornets blew a 22-7 first quarter lead against Marion and then went on to lose 68-66 in the opening round.
Sal Iannello had 30 points and eight boards to lead Marion, which improves to 4-0. Brad Le Fevre pitched in 17 points with 11 rebounds.
Noah Seward had 14 points to lead O-A, with A.J. Kehlenbeck getting 13 and Tim Smith adding 12. The Hornets are now 5-1 and will be playing in the consolation game tomorrow.
UPDATE: Well, it looks like Marion will be facing the host squad in the finals. Cal-Mum had a 22-15 advantage in the fourth quarter and beat York 57-51.
Jeremy Wilson had 11 points and Chris Voos added eight in the crucial period. Wilson finished with 11 points and Voos 12. Sean Ancker pulled down 10 rebounds for the Red Raiders (3-2).
Travis Nash had 22 points for York (4-4).
