On Feb. 12, 1965 the Marshalltown High School Roundhouse hosted its first basketball game, with the Bobcats taking on Ames.
In honor of the 51st anniversary and as a way to celebrate the renovated Roundhouse, there will be special events on Feb. 12, 2016 as part of the girls and boys basketball games that night against Ames.

A special recognition will be held between the varsity girls and boys games at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 12.
