Good morning, Perry County. The scoreboard tells a tale of two extremes in local sports this week. Maysville's unstoppable basketball machine continued rolling through the Muskingum Valley League, crushing New Lexington 70-17 in a dominant display that showcased their offensive firepower. Since their lone November stumble, they've been virtually untouchable, averaging an impressive 64 points per game while four players consistently hit double figures.
Meanwhile, on the diamond, fans were treated to a classic pitching duel as New Lexington edged Crooksville 3-2 in nail-biting fashion. Clay Miller put on a masterclass, taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning while also delivering at the plate with a double and triple. The Panthers capitalized on early Ceramics errors to build just enough cushion to withstand a late comeback attempt, with Bo White's complete game effort for Crooksville ultimately coming up just short.
