MARYSVILLE — The Marysville-Pilchuck boys basketball team grinded out a 3A North League game with cross-town rival Marysville Getchell Jan. 12, in which the Tomahawks prevailed 49-46.

“A lot of credit for the Getchell Chargers — they brought it,” M-P coach Bary Gould said. “But then again our guys ended up prevailing and that’s the perseverance and resiliency that we try to preach.”
