MCCONNELSVILLE, Ohio – For the past few seasons, the Morgan and New Lexington boys basketball teams have been loaded with talented underclassmen, both grasping to make their way to the top of the league.

With two of the best guards in the MVL, Carver Myers for Morgan and Logyn Ratliff for New Lexington, entering their senior seasons, it’s put up or shut up time for both teams.

Both teams got off to a quick start, and the teams traded leads throughout the first three quarters. A strong fourth quarter performance from the Raider defense sealed the victory and a one game lead in the MVL Small School standings.
