Dec. 2—MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — After a tight first quarter, Morgantown Christian pulled away from Calvary to win 45-29 on Thursday night.

"We are outsized tonight, by a lot, and neither our field goals or free throws were falling," Calvary head coach Shawn Ricker said.

It was frustrating for them to work so hard and the shots not to fall, but they never quit and learned a lot about themselves."
