The Marysville Bunsold 8th Grade Boys Basketball Team closed out their regular season with a heart-pounding finish against a tough Dublin Grizzell squad. In a game that came down to the final second, the Monarchs fell just short, 48-50, after a potential game-winning buzzer-beater from Kellen Carter rimmed out. Carter led all scorers with an impressive 24 points, nearly delivering another signature clutch moment in what has been a standout season.
Despite the narrow loss, the Monarchs finish the regular season with an outstanding 15-2 record and will enter the postseason as the No. 1 overall seed in the Central Ohio D1 Gold Bracket.
This season has been one for the record books—not only for the 8th grade but also for the entire Marysville basketball program—as both the 7th and 8th grade teams have secured No. 1 seeds for the first time in school history.
Coach Lloyd praised his team’s effort, unity, and determination throughout the season, giving a heartfelt shoutout to every player who contributed to the Monarchs’ success:Kellen Carter, Myles Forrester, Hudson King, AJ Shroyer, Sully Stackhouse, Javy Lopez, ISO David Lian, Mason Potts, Cole “Money” Schott, and Adam Najjar Idrissi.
The Monarchs now turn their focus to the Central Ohio D1 Gold Bracket Tournament, where they’ll begin play Saturday at 9 AM at Hilliard Weaver.
💙🏀 Monarch Nation—come out and support your boys as they chase a championship and continue to make Marysville proud!
