Paige scores 34 in loss to Illinois club
DUBUQUE -- Linn-Mar’s Marcus Paige and Benet (Ill.) Academy’s Sean O’Mara went shot-for-shot, putting on a terrific scoring battle for a mostly neutral crowd at the Wendy’s/American Trust Basketball Classic at Loras College Saturday.
In the end, it was O’Mara’s squad that came away with a 56-50 victory over the Lions.
Paige, a North Carolina recruit, scored 34 of Linn-Mar’s 50 points. Paige’s performance came just 24 hours after scoring a school-record 46 points in Linn-Mar’s comeback victory Friday against Prairie.
Not to be outdone, the 6-foot-8 sophomore O’Mara tallied 30 of his team’s 56. O’Mara is receiving interest from Notre Dame, Illinois and Iowa, according to ESPN.com.
