The Morgan Raider basketball team claimed two Muskingum Valley League Small School Division victories in three closely contested match-ups. The Raiders defeated Coshocton (57-50 OT) and Crooksville (64-59). They dropped a 58-56 decision at Meadowbrook.
Carver Myers’s 31-point night led the Raiders in their 57-50 overtime victory over Coshocton, but it was Jason Wells who came up big in the extra period as the Raiders scored the first six points. Early in overtime, Wells came away with a steal. He would later have buckets on back-to-back possessions off Carver Myers's assists. Carver grabbed a rebound off his own missed free throw and scored to put Morgan up 48-42 at 2:03.
