The Martinsville fans filled the house at Lord Botetourt.
And it would be Martinsville Becker who pulls down the rebound then passes it to J.R. Christy who finishes off the play Martinsville led the game.

But Martinsville shows why they are undefeated. Watch the good ball work that ends up with the easy basket and Martinsville wins the game by a score of 75 to 59.
