Mars’ Offense Catches Fire In Second Half In Blowout Against Meadville

One way to assure a win is to make all of your shots. Mars nearly did that in the second half of its PIAA quarterfinals game on Friday night at Sharon High School against District 10 champion, Meadville.

The Planets converted on 14 of 16 shot attempts in the second half to break open the game and go on to win 73-57.

They were just as consistent from the free-throw line, finishing the game 19 of 22.

Mars held a 27-23 halftime lead and increased the lead to five entering the fourth quarter, but that is when they erupting for 27 points in the final eight minutes to put the game away.

Although a lot closer this year, the Planets have now won back-to-back WPIAL championships.

It was looking like Moon would capture its second title in three years early on. The Tigers held a 17-point halftime lead, but it would be a different story in the second half.
