Tigers trimmed by Trojans

ELDORA- An early season key conference contest went the way of West Marshall, edging the South Hardin boys’ basketball team, 59-58 here Tuesday during North Iowa Cedar League West action.

The visiting Trojans made the game’s final run to capture the hard-fought victory. West Marshall closed on an 11-2 spurt with the winning basket by Cam Bannister with 31-seconds showing.
