Roundup: Tri-Valley boys cruise, Philo nips Morgan
DRESDEN — It seemed everyone but the janitors got into the scoring column for Tri-Valley on Tuesday night.
Terrell Darden led 11 Scotties who scored with 13 points, as they surged to a 27-point halftime lead and rolled to a 64-20 win in a Muskingum Valley League crossover against visiting Coshocton.
Darden scored 11 of his points in the first half. He also had four rebounds, three assists and collected six steals. The Scotties (6-3, 5-1 MVL-Big) led by as many as 46 points before the running clock was instituted.
Erik Neal added nine points and Noah Nichols and Max Lyall eight for Tri-Valley, which shot 57 percent behind an extreme size advantage — it made 21 of 26 from inside the arc.
Coby Moore, Bentley Cunningham and Camden Swigert had five points for Coshocton (1-5 MVL-Small), which made only 2 of 14 3-pointers and committed 16 turnovers. Tri-Valley held a 26-14 edge in rebounds, with Aaron Frueh leading the way with seven.
Philo 53, Morgan 51: Cade Searls made seven baskets, but it was his last that proved most important in the Electrics' MVL crossover win at The Power Plant.
Searls, a senior guard, hit the go-ahead shot with two seconds left, part of a team-high 19 points that included a pair of 3-pointers.
Philo (3-5, 3-3 MVL-Big) trailed 29-24 at the half, but it held the Raiders to only seven points in the third quarter to take a 40-36 lead. Morgan rallied behind senior Carson Mummey, who shook off a quiet third to hit a 3 and two more baskets in the final period. It helped forge a 51-all tie in the final minute.
Morgan (4-5, 4-2 MVL-Small) had a chance to tie the game after Searls' clutch shot but failed to convert.
Wesley Wilson hit four 3s 3 — three in the second half — in a 17-point showing for Philo; Demetrius Strickland and Talon Preston chipped in seven points.
Mummey finished with 18 points, which included a pair of first-quarter 3-pointers. Hunter Shriver added nine points and Joe Mayle seven.

River View 74, Meadowbrook 44: Owen Emig hit a pair of 3s in a 24-point first half as the host Black Bears rolled to an MVL crossover win at Luther Stover Gymnasium.
Emig hit a pair of 3s in the first quarter among his 14 points, and backcourt mate Brody Border hit a pair of long balls among his 10 to send River View (3-4, 1-4 MVL-Big) to a 26-11 lead that grew to 44-20 at the half.
Border finished with 19 points with three 3-pointers and Cam Albertson added eight counters for the Black Bears, who had 10 players score and connected on 31 total field goals.
