How did we meet? We met in college, Maria was working as an Intramural Worker and worked everyday. Marcus came to the Gym and played pick up ball everyday during the school year. Marcus would get on Maria’s nerves when they would play basketball for those that know Marcus he loves to count his stats for basketball. Some times Maria and team would forget a point on the stats sheet and he would come up to the bench and make sure it was correct lol. It got on Maria’s nerves. Then one day Marcus got the courage to ask Maria out, and the rest is history. The love of sports these two have is amazing. So amazing that Marcus proposed center court after a basketball game win as West Virginia State University assistant coach in the US Virgin Islands Tournament in December of 2022.
