Mojave’s Marshall wins Gatorade award

Mojave guard Anthony Marshall has been named the Gatorade Nevada Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

Marshall, who has signed to play at UNLV next season, averaged 25 points, six assists, five rebounds and three blocked shots for the Rattlers.

He helped Mojave to a 17-9 record and a berth in the Sunset Region tournament.

Marshall was a member of the Review-Journal’s all-state team, and was named Sunset Region Most Valuable Player.

Marshall now is eligible for the national player of the year award, which is expected to be announced later this month.
