When Duluth Denfeld's MarNaries Ferguson 'turns it up' — look out

DULUTH — After trailing for most of the first half of the Section 7AAA final against Hibbing, Duluth Denfeld’s Carter Brown hit a 3-pointer to put the Hunters up by three heading into the locker room March 13 at Duluth East High School.

What should have been at least an upbeat halftime huddle simply wasn’t. Instead of chatter back and forth with the players and coaches, the room was “silent,” according to senior guard MarNaries Ferguson.

Despite Brown’s halftime buzzerbeater, Hibbing wasn’t finished — not by a long shot — and coach Phill Homere told his players this is what they expected.

“We knew they were going to play a zone, because that’s been our weakness all season,” Homere said. “I was like, ‘We didn’t come this far to lose to a zone. We need to pick it up or we’re going to end up allowing them to win a game when we know we’re the better team.”

Ferguson, too, spoke up during the talk.

“Boys, we’ve got this,” he told the team.

Brown’s make from long range at the horn changed everything, according to Ferguson.

“Carter hit that 3-pointer and it really turned me up,” he said. “I locked in because I knew my team had my back.”

His teammates had his back because they knew Ferguson would “lead us,” according to junior guard Lee Brooks.

“I put all my trust in him,” Brooks said. “He was getting steals, blocking passes and it just picked us up. Then Carter started getting some blocks and we started slowing Ray (Brau) down, because he was taking us apart like crazy. It all started clicking.”

Ferguson hit a 3-pointer — his only points from the perimeter — and started to get into the lane. In just a few minutes, Ferguson had scored 10 points and

put the Hunters up by double digits on their way to a 75-52 win

“MarNaries is such a special player,” Hibbing coach Kyle Giorgi said. “He’s not just a scorer, he does it on both ends of the floor. He guards the ball, he gets in the passing lanes and if he gets out in transition — he’s so quick and explosive, there’s really nothing you can do at that point.”

Ferguson finished with 31 points — 20 in the second half — and led Denfeld to the state tournament for the first time since 2004, but even when facing three-time defending champion Totino-Grace in the state quarterfinal, he wasn’t done.

In an epic performance, Ferguson poured in 41, but shots weren’t falling for the rest of the Hunters and the Eagles won 88-72.

Ferguson finished his Denfeld career with a school record 2,008 points and was a first team All-Lake Superior Conference selection. Now he is the News Tribune’s 2025 All-Area Player of the Year.

For Ferguson — and Homere, for that matter — it’s been a journey from when the pair first met when Ferguson was a sixth-grader at Lincoln Park Middle School. Homere wasn’t even the Hunters’ varsity coach yet, but he saw plenty of potential.

“He was basically just using his athleticism, he was just faster than everyone,” Homere said. “His ballhandling skills were still raw — he wasn’t really good at dribbling — but he was able to push the ball ahead with his speed to beat everybody and get layups.”

Homere encouraged Ferguson to try out for the C-team as a seventh-grader, but he never took the plunge. Homere continued to lobby him as an eighth-grader and eventually he made a pledge that would also come to define his role as the Hunters’ coach.

“I was like ‘Dude, you should be on a high school team, you just need someone to teach you the game,” Homere said. “I told him I’m willing to do that as long as you show up every day and work on the fundamentals — all the small things.”

By the time Ferguson was heading into his freshman year, Homere was named Denfeld’s coach. He was chatting with the guys that would form his coaching staff and told them about Ferguson.

“I’m going to be honest with you, I’ve got a ninth-grader that I could see playing varsity right now,” he said.

Ferguson didn’t play for the varsity team right away and once he did get on the floor, he wasn’t his normal self.

“The first game I put him in, he was very nervous,” Homere said. “He didn’t want to shoot because he didn’t want the older guys upset at him. I was like, ‘Dude, just play your game. It’ll all come — the guys aren’t going to be mad at you.’”

Denfeld won just three games in Homere’s first season, but the Hunters improved to 16-13 in 2022-23 and were looking to contend for the state tournament, but injuries to Ferguson and Aidan Altona derailed the campaign.

Even this season wasn’t without its ups and downs, but through it all, Ferguson maintained his discipline and kept pushing.

After a 71-68 loss to Cloquet — a shocking result for the Hunters — Ferguson was still looking to improve. He had 26 points on 11-for-17 shooting, but he made just two shots from the perimeter on seven attempts.

“I heard him whispering, ‘I’m going to get shots up, this will never happen again,’” Brooks said. “He texts me that morning, but sadly I was not awake.”

Homere, however, was awake and met Ferguson at 5:30 a.m. in the Denfeld gym to put up a few more shots.

What’s more, he’s left a legacy of hard work and dedication that will extend beyond his time in a Hunter uniform.

“We’re in the gym getting shots up and I’m taking videos so our younger guys can see what it takes,” Homere said. “He did not have to wake up early to get in the gym, but I think it has an effect on the guys. If this guy — the all-time leading scorer — is putting in extra work, these are the little things I need to do too.”

For both, however, it’s become a relationship that goes deeper than basketball.

“Phill has always believed in me,” Ferguson said. “He saw the potential in me that I couldn’t even see in myself from the first time we met. Playing for him in eighth grade, he saw that potential and I wasn’t even good. I didn’t know the rules of basketball, but the way he guided me through all these years, it really meant something really special to me and I’m happy to be a part of it with him.”

Three Penn State wrestling connections are picked to win at the World Team Trials this weekend

Three Penn State wrestling connections are picked to win at the World Team Trials this weekend

Penn State wrestling is already set to be represented by Luke Lilledahl and Mitchell Mesenbrink at Final X. The June event will feature 20 men’s and women’s freestyle matches to determine the 2025 U.S. Senior team, which will compete at the World Championship later this year. Before that, the U.S. World Team Trials will be held this Friday and Saturday in Louisville. That’s where PSU and Nittany Lion Wrestling Club connections can punch their ticket to join Lilledahl and Mesenbrink, and Kyle Snyder in New Jersey. And, one national writer thinks that more than a few will.

Writing for FLO Wrestling, Jon Kozak predicts three Penn State connections will take first this weekend. He projects that senior Levi Haines will win the 79 kilogram (174.1 pounds) bracket while redshirt sophomore Josh Barr claims the 92 kilogram (202.8 pounds) division. He picked the Nittany Lion to do so before Jacob Cardenas dropped from the bracket. Now, Barr might be an even bigger favorite. And, beyond current members of Cael Sanderson’s team, Kozak also has NLWC member and two-time Olympic bronze medalist Kyle Dake taking the 86 kilogram (189.5 pounds) title.

Learn more about the Penn State wrestling connections competing at the U.S. World Team Trials by watching the latest BWI wrestling show below!

“The 79 kg bracket at the WTT is essentially a smaller version of the 79 kg bracket from the US Open,” Kozak writes. “In Vegas, DJ Hamiti finished as the runner-up with a tech fall over Kennedy Monday while losing to Evan Wick in the finals 9-1. Simon Ruiz finished in third place at the US Open, also only losing to Evan Wick (9-5) but defeating Carson Kharchla (twice, 3-2 and 7-7) and Muhamed McBryde (6-4). From these results, Hamiti should be considered a slight favorite, but Ruiz and Kharchla are interesting challengers capable of making a run to the finals.

“Levi Haines is the only wrestler in this bracket who didn’t wrestle at the US Open. While Haines lost to Hamiti at the NCAA Tournament, Haines is capable of winning this bracket in Louisville. Haines hasn’t competed much in freestyle, but he notably finished 4th at the 2024 World Team Trials at 79 kg. There, Haines lost to Jordan Burroughs and David Carr but defeated US Open winner Evan Wick (by pin) and Keegan O’Toole (6-0). Haines’ wrestling translates well to freestyle, and he has incredible potential to win in Louisville and at Final X.”

The action begins 10 a.m. ET on Friday with preliminary round action. The first session closes by 2:30 p.m. ET following the quarterfinal round. The semifinals and consolation bracket action run 4-7:30 p.m. ET on Friday. And, the finals are at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday. FLO is streaming the event. Here’s the list of Penn State connections:

Penn State signee Marcus Blaze and program alum Beau Bartlett – 65 kilograms (143.3 pounds)

Nittany Lion signee PJ Duke – 70 kilograms (154.3 pounds)

Penn State senior Levi Haines – 79 kilograms (174.1 pounds)

Nittany Lion alum Carter Starocci and NLWC member Kyle Dake- 86 kilograms (189.5 pounds)

Penn State redshirt sophomore Josh Barr – 92 kilograms (202.8 pounds)

Massachusetts high school sports highlights for May 15

Marblehead’s Tessa Francis registered her 500th career strikeout in Thursday’s win over Latin Academy.Ken McGagh for The Boston Globe

Thursday was a day for big, round numbers. A 500, a 343, a couple of 300s, a 250, a 200, plus more. Despite the rain, a nearly full slate of baseball, softball, lacrosse, and tennis were played and conference and league crowns are being claimed with just over a week left in the regular season.

As always, we start with more than than 75 recaps from Thursday’s slate: Scoreboard | Baseball | Softball | Boys’ lacrosse | Girls’ lacrosse | Boys’ volleyball | Girls’ tennis | Boys’ tennis

1. Milestones and moments

We’ll get to the biggest number, but we must start with Braintree senior Bella Duffy, who not only netted the tying and winning goals to beat Weymouth, 10-9, but finished a five-goal, one-assist day with 343 points (272 goals, 71 assists), matching the program record set by former Sacred Heart standout Grace Reinold in 2018. Interestingly, Reinold has coached Duffy, who now has 81 goals and 17 assists this season, on her Laxachusetts club team.

The biggest number of the day belonged to Marblehead junior Tessa Francis, who struck out 15 in a 13-2 win over Latin Academy, finishing the day with exactly 500 career strikeouts.

Notching their 300th career points were North Andover senior Isa Robinson (7 goals in a 15-7 win over Billerica) and Medfield senior Kendall Herrick (3 goals in a 10-7 win over Reading). Robinson’s Scarlet Knights teammate Taylor Farrell made her 100th career save as the team claimed a Merrimack Valley Conference championship.

Sandwich boys’ lacrosse coach Mike McNeil notched his 250th career victory by beating Bridgewater-Raynham, 11-5, and Scituate senior Owen Hofford recorded his 200th career point in a 16-3 win over Pembroke.

2. Walk-off win

A wild pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth allowed the Burlington baseball team (9-7) to escape with a narrow 5-4 Middlesex League win over Wilmington.

3. Three stars

Edy Latour, Dighton-Rehoboth — The sophomore struck out seven and walked two while firing a no-hitter to beat Plymouth South, 8-0, helping her own cause with a hit and an RBI.

Ellie Barbarick, Georgetown — The sophomore blasted two home runs and knocked in four runs, leading the Royals to a 12-0 win over Amesbury, which clinched their first Cape Ann League Baker Division title in 15 years.

Lacey Roche, West Bridgewater — A menace on the basepaths, the seventh-grader collected four hits and five stolen bases, adding an RBI and a run scored in a 4-2 win over Fairhaven.

4. Going, going, gone

Dighton-Rehoboth’s Haleigh Kelley continued to crush the ball, matching Barbarick by delivering a pair of home runs in an 8-0 win over Plymouth South, giving her five round-trippers this month and six on the season.

North Attleborough freshman Alessandra Cautilli cranked an inside-the-park home run and Randolph eighth-grader Gianna Singleton sent one out. Kenley Thomas of Upper Cape and Kyle Doney of St. Mary’s also left the park Thursday.

The spring college awards season has arrived and former MIAA standouts are littering the lists.

In the NEWMAC, BC High graduate and Wheaton senior infielder Timmy Wagner was named baseball Player of the Year after hitting .398 with a .495 OBP, 1.121 OPS, league-leading 73 RBIs, and league-leading 30 walks.

Beverly graduate Brayden Clark, a graduate student at Salve Regina, was crowned NEWMAC Pitcher of the Year after posting nine wins with 104 strikeouts and a 1.94 ERA in 74⅓ innings.

The NEWMAC Defensive Player of the Year was Ashland alum Brandon Grover, now a graduate student outfielder for Salve Regina, where he made 54 putouts without an error.

Making the NEWMAC First Team for baseball was AMSA graduate Andrew Cash (WPI) and the second team featured Brant Savage (St. John’s Shrewsbury/Charlton/Babson), Dom Mariani (Xaverian/Walpole/Clark), Casey Wensley (Bridgewater-Raynham/Wheaton), Evan O’Rourke (Arlington/Salve Regina), Jason Finkelstein (Walpole/Babson), and Shea Donovan (Milton/Salve Regina).

Local products were equally dominant in the NESCAC baseball awards, with Wellesley High graduate Kyle McCausland of Middlebury capturing Player of the Year honors for the second time in three years after a senior season in which he led the league in RBIs (47) and home runs (12), finishing with a .711 slugging percentage and 1.177 OPS.

The NESCAC Co-Pitchers of the Year were Colby senior Ryan Grecco (Andover) and Williams sophomore Owen McHugh (Milton). Grecco went 5-3 with a 2.72 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 53 strikeouts in 53 innings to become the first Colby pitcher to win the award. Similarly, McHugh is the first Williams pitcher to claim the award after he posted a 2.27 ERA and 53 strikeouts in 39⅔ innings with a 3-1 record.
