Matt Fletcher admitted he was not the first choice to take his team’s last shot.
However, Marmion’s basketball team was certainly pleased with the result.
Fletcher, a 6-4 junior forward, connected on a 3-pointer with 20 seconds remaining to lift the Cadets (7-4) to a 47-44 nonconference victory over Glenbard South (3-9) Saturday night at Alumni Hall in Aurora.
Senior forward Jake Esp penetrated and kicked the ball out to Fletcher, who didn’t hesitate to take the 3-point attempt from the corner.
