Happenings A blood drive, open to the public is set for March 11 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Marion High School. A steady stream of cars and vans traveled west out of Marion on March l headed to the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester. Marion's Class CC boys basketball champs were to play Campbell/Savona at 11:45 a.m. Parents and other family members, including grandparents, were in for a late morning's time of excitement and at times, stress! After the first quarter the score was Marion 14, Campbell/Savona 14. At the end of the half we were down eight points. Prayers were said and cheers shouted as we ended the 3rd quarter with Marion 32 opponents 39. I'll bet you can imagine how the 4th quarter went when I tell you Marion won 55 to 48. I know phone calls were made to the folks wintering in Florida letting them know the outcome. I imagine this game was played over and over again at Maryellen's Restaurant by the morning coffee guys.
