Glenville's Upset Bid Falls Short

Aided by generous officiating, the nationally ranked and number two conference seed West Liberty Hilltoppers survived an upset bid by the Glenville State College Pioneers 75 to 71 on Friday at the Charleston Civic Center in quarter final action in the Mountain East Conference tournament.

With the Glenville loss comes the end of the illustrious college career of Webster County native Brett Morris. Morris did everything he could to help the Pioneers, scoring 14 points, pulling down 13 rebounds, dishing out 4 assists, and blocking 4 shots. Teammate Terry Davis Jr. led the Pioneers with 23 points. Jon Dunmyer was the only other Pioneer in double figures with 12 points.

Here is a wvmetronews.com video clip of Brett with a three point play early in the second half:

In the second half, and critically on a play with about one minute remaining in the game, the referees missed at least three calls costing Glenville points, as shown by the video link below:
