The Mullins Auctioneers never really talked about last year’s Class 2A lower state championship loss to Burke this season. That all changed Friday.

Three varsity basketball teams from Marion County continue to fight through playoffs for a title: The Pee Dee Academy girls, Marion High School girls and Mullins High School boys teams are playing either today or Saturday.

The Mullins boys basketball is headed back to the Class 2A lower state finals. The Auctioneers used a 13-0 run in the fourth quarter on their way to a win Wednesday night over Kingstree 76-65.

Mullins Auctioneer point guard is awarded region 8-2A player of the year. Coach Mark Gerald named coach of the year. Additionally, Marion’s Geneika Brantly wond player of the year and Dillon coach won coach of the year in Region 8-2A.

The Mullins Auctioneers entered this season with a new perspective. Not about basketball, but life. An undefeated 2007-08 campaign ended unceremoniously with a two-point loss to Burke in last year’s Class 2A lower state championship.

Mullins held their own against the #2 ranked team in the country in the opening round of the Beach Ball Classic.  Too bad the game is not only 16 minutes.  St. Patrick’s (NJ) trailed at half before turning up the defensive pressure and cruising to a 71-50 win.

Tuesday’s game between Mullins and Wilson pitted two of the top programs in the Pee Dee against each other in a rare non-region marquee matchup. But after it was over, even Tigers coach Bob Wilson couldn’t believe the margin of victory.

When Mullins basketball Head Coach Mark Gerald discussed a varsity boys basketball game with Flora McDonald Academy Head Coach Derrick Bond, both coaches agreed that theirs could be a good match-up for the stars of their programs.
