Young's Marquis Clark shrugs off injury to claim hard-fought victory at Lincoln Park.
Marquis Clark was a force to be reckoned with as he led his team Young to a 65-62 win over Lincoln Park despite suffering a possible broken nose. The senior star guard took a shot to the face in the final minutes of the game, but refused to back down, continuing to play through the pain.
Clark's determination paid off as he finished with 12 points and helped his team secure the victory. Junior guard Ed Williams stepped up in the final minute, scoring all seven of his points in the last two minutes to seal the win for Young.
The game was a physical and intense matchup between the two teams, with both sides giving it their all until the very end. The energy in Lincoln Park's gym was electric, with the crowd cheering on both teams as they battled it out.
Young's sophomore Travis Jamison II had an impressive performance, draining three three-pointers in the first three minutes of the game and finishing with 18 points. "I played in the JV game before the varsity game, so I had a chance to get used to how wild it is in here," Jamison said.
Lincoln Park's Larry Harris defended well against Young's Zaire Green, but ultimately couldn't stop Clark from leading his team to victory. Clark said he enjoyed the physical environment and was determined to see the game through despite the injury.
Young coach Tyrone Slaughter praised Williams for carrying the team to victory in the final minutes of the game. "He carried us home," Slaughter said. "We've kinda been on him, and today he performed."
The win marks a significant improvement for Young, who have been steadily building their skills despite being a relatively inexperienced team. Lincoln Park's coach Tyrone Slaughter was optimistic about his team's chances moving forward.

?! I'm literally speechless! His determination and focus on the game were truly inspiring 
. It just goes to show that the mental toughness and grit of an athlete can take over physical pain and they'll still push through 
. The whole team, including Ed Williams and Travis Jamison II, played amazing together 
. I love how coach Slaughter was so proud of Williams' performance too 
. It's clear that Young's been working hard to build their skills and it's really paying off 
!
, he's literally a superhero on the court! I was on the edge of my seat watching him play with that broken nose 
...i mean, who needs one when you're gonna crush it like he did? 
! Travis jamison ii's three-pointers were fire too 
young's team is looking up, can't wait to see what they do next 
it just goes to show that even with all those injuries, young is still on fire 
. Have you noticed how both coaches are talking about their teams' improvements? Like, what's the real reason for this sudden surge in performance? Is it just a coincidence or is someone pulling the strings from behind the scenes? And don't even get me started on Ed Williams carrying the team to victory... was he always gonna be the star player or did they manipulate him into that role? I'm not buying the "team effort" story 
. There's more to this than meets the eye, mark my words! 
. The energy at Lincoln Park was insane, the crowd was going wild! 
. Young is definitely a team on the rise, and I'm excited to see what's next for them 
!
. ed williams stepped up big time in the final minutes, that's what teamwork is all about 
. lincoln park's defense was solid but clark's determination just paid off in the end 
he took a shot to the face and still managed to get 12 points lol what kind of pain tolerance does he have? 
but seriously, ed williams stepped up big time in the final minutes and carried his team to that win. and lincoln park's coach seems pretty optimistic about their chances now too 
! The energy in that gym was electric, I can only imagine how intense it must've been for those players 
!
TRAVIS JAMISON II WAS ON FIRE TOO, DRIZZLING THREE-POINTERS LEFT AND RIGHT!!! 
still can't believe they didn't give up when the ref should've stopped the game 
don't get me wrong, clark did do well considering he was probably in pain, but 12 points? that's just crazy... maybe it's bc they're trying to save money on medical bills 
but hey at least he played through it and helped his team win 
. Young's team is def making progress, and I'm loving the energy around this game 
that's some next level stuff! 
but seriously he's such a beast on the court 
ed williams stepped up big time in the final minute though, no doubt about that 
. I mean, 12 points is a lot for someone who's been injured like that, but at the same time, it's not like he's playing with a broken face and can't even eat a sandwich 
.
. But what is crazy is that Ed Williams stepped up and scored all his points in the last two minutes, that's like a superhero moment 
. And I love how both coaches are praising each other's teams, it shows they respect each other 
. I'm loving Young's progress this season, they're gonna be a force to be reckoned with 
. And Ed Williams comin' through in the clutch, too
