HUGE WIN FOR MOHIGANS IN THE PANHANDLE The Mohigan Boys basketball team went to Martinsburg and upset the 7th rated Bulldogs by a score of 50-40.

Trailing by 9 with 3 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter MHS got hot as Taylor Price took over. The 6Õ5 junior scored 6 consecutive points and the Mohigans caught fire. From there, Jordan Barnett and Ryan Parsons took over at the foul line as MHS converted 20-22 free throws on the evening. Most of them coming in the fourth quarter.
