“Tied with Holy Cross headed into the fourth quarter, Brother Martin coach Chris Biehl looked to his bench for a spark, and junior Marvin Jones ’22 stepped up big time.

Jones scored six points in the final quarter and provided some tough defense as the sixth-seeded Crusaders earned a 60-56 Division I opening-round playoff victory on Tuesday.

“I just had to come off the bench with energy,” Jones said. “Defense wins our games, so I came in to pick up the pace. Tonight was tough. We knew it would be a close game. We started off slow, but we got better in the second half. We just have to start off faster.”

Brother Martin (21-7) will play District 9-5A champion and third-seeded St. Augustine (19-6) in the quarterfinals Friday.
