I love the 10 blocks, to me that is the hardest stat to get. Now if he can work on the assists, perhaps he can get a quadriple double someday! We could really use Zeke's inside presence this year. Seems like the Zips have zero inside game at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootforRoo44 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Wow this is all great news. ESPN the magazine? Can't wait to get that issue.And im betting we will see a game with similar stats in the near future, probably with Cant State on the losing end. Or at least that's my dream...im sure one everyone here shares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Wow!!! Now that is an impressive triple-double! Sometimes you see a triple-double @ 10-10-10, but to score 25 in a triple-double effort is outstanding! Zeke must be getting quite comfortable scoring the ball? He sure looked comfortable and confident on the court when I was able to watch him play in the LeBron-Akron AAU tourney.ESPN The Magazine?!?! Don't get TOO big a head big fella!!! I know I sure would!!! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Excellent news, Zeke's Momma! It look like the Tigers are starting to gel after running off 4 straight. Good luck against Gateway. Keep it up Zeke! I think the WPIAL Quad A will be up for grabs. It'd be nice to get a shot at some of those early season teams once again, this time with a well-oiled, Zeke-lead, Tiger machine! But of course, take 'em one at a time Go Zeke!Go Tigers!Go Zips!

LosAngelesZipFan Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hey Zeke's Mom-- Congrats to Zeke on his first of what I am sure will be many triple doubles!! And the ESPN Magazine things is AMAZING!!So glad things are going well-- we're incredibly excited to have Zeke become a Zip. There's alot of us out here on the West Coast so I'm hoping KD will get a game scheduled with UCLA or USC or LMU during the Zeke era.

MDZip Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 That's great - though I was hoping for the third of the triplet to be steals. In the very few years I played, I never even to get a single double in a game. The cover of ESPN. Wow. What's the angle? Are they just highlighting good young players? Good young players who are smart and have a mind of their own and don't just automatically grab onto a basketball factory lifeline? Just curious as to what they're shooting for with this issue. Or is that a secret until it comes out? Ironically it appears that Zeke may be getting more press because he chose Akron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: Zeke's Mom, Does Zeke da Zip have his own page on Youtube yet? I've spent the last few nites watching videos from Akron soccer and our upcoming Major League Soccer #1 draft pick, Steve Zakuani. Steve has a page where you can send messages, along with comment on his vids. Can't wait to see Zeke's Greatest Hits!And, Zipgrad 1990, I loved your reference to Zeke's "Quadriple Double". Reminds me of one of Fred Sanford's favorite beverages, the QuadRipple Double. Maybe in the future, it will be known as the Quad-Zipple-Double! Go Get 'em Zeke! I'll have to buy up the supply of next month's ESPN the Magazine from the local bookkstores for my familly Around the Globe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromdaBurgh Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 HI all.....Zeke is really excited and very humbled by this all...ESPECIALLY the ESPN deal. His TRIPLE DOUBLE was just amazing...he took control of the game and did what he was suppose to do...PLAY ZEKE BALL!!! To answer those questions....Z.I.P. --NO Zeke doesn't have a YouTube page and he actually doesn't want one. He isn't into all of that and is actually a very private person. I don't think would "personally" do a YouTube page for himself. Things may change later on but for now its not his thing.MDZip--Hey there...How are you doing? Zeke would have gotten a couple of steals but he is afraid of getting called for those "stupid fouls" these refs ALWAYS call on him. He figures he would allow his PG's to do there job on defensive.....GOOD LUCK..YIKES!!!!!!!!!LAZips Fan...THANK YOU very much!!! We would LOOOVVVEEEE 2 come out to LA!!! Rhema to Disney Land, me to Rodeo (if only to window shop)-- Everyone else...the Hollywood Hills!!!!JohnnyZip84---THANKS!!! If we can get passed Gateway and redeem ourselves when we go against Fox Chapel..then we have a GOOD CHANCE of taking 1st place in the Section.Blue&Gold---YEAH..he is FINALLY getting to the point where he understands that HE MUST SCORE!!! and he really is getting more comfortable doing it.And don't you all worry about Zeke getting a big head....that is sooooooo not him!! He is still struggling with all of this attention...but as we all know when you are FAVORED OF GOD...there are some things you simply have to learn how to deal with and for him it will be all of the attention!!!!!!!!!!! He is going to be OK..still low key and down to earth...BESIDES momma is still going to make him WASH THE DISHES, TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE and MAKE UP HIS BED no matter how much money he makes or how many magazine covers/interviews he does. I'll snap him back to reality....dont worry about that!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FromdaBurgh Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Anybody find an article about Zeke's triple double?I found this when searching.Tiny blurb in the TribHi there Dr. Z.....Thanks for finding those articles. I didn't know they were out there. As for the Trib (they really don't like us (us being McKeesport) and specifically Zeke). That article was done simply because he did the triple double. I'm not worried though about their lack of coverage because like I said he will be on the cover of ESPN Mag in Feb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It air weeknights at 6:30 pm.For those Zip fans not familiar with the show, it's like Steve French's tv show but with more production budget. Anyway maybe you can email Stan and he can put you in touch with the right person to get you a tape or dvd?His email is ssavran@foxsports.net I found it here.Ad promo for the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyZip Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Howdy all. I'd just like to post in honor of a shy Zipsnation member. Apparently Kobe Bryant is on the new cover of ESPN the magazine. I sure hope Zeke didn't get bumped in honor of the guy that's on magazine covers 60 times a year...Any news, Zeke's mom?

infofan Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Actually he is going to be on ESPN Rise. Not sure exactly when it is coming out. Sometime in Feb (I think at the end of the month)ZEKE UPDATEThe McKeesport Area boys basketball team looked every part of a section champion through four minutes against rival Gateway. The Tigers raced out to a 9-2 lead on the strength of two Parris Perdue 3-pointers and five blocks by center Zeke Marshall to send Friday's large Neenie Campbell Gymnasium senior night crowd into a raucous uproar.Advertisement Then something happened.Just before the end of the first quarter, Marshall picked up his second foul and McKeesport coach Corey Gadson took his star center out of the game.When Marshall returned after sitting out the first five minutes of the second quarter, he quickly picked up his third foul and just as fast found himself back on the bench.While the 7-foot University of Akron recruit could only sit and watch, the Gators systematically ran their offense. Freshman Barnett Harris came off the bench to pour in a game-high 19 points for Gateway, while sophomore Devon Cottrell pounded his way to a 12-point showing and junior Craig Banks scored 15.In the end, the Gators survived a late Tigers comeback to steal a 52-47 win and ruin McKeesport's chances for an outright Section 2-AAAA title.
