Say It Isn't So


It is hard to believe that we have watched the last college game ever to be played by Brett Morris. This may also be the last video that I have had the pleasure making of Brett's play on the hardwoods, though I suspect we will see or hear of him playing in a professional league in another country. We hope so. It was tough making this video knowing the emotion Brett expressed to his many family and fans in attendance. The video at the link below shows some of Brett's play against West Liberty in the Mountain East Conference tournament Friday at the Charleston Civic Center.

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:

Webster Building Blows Its Top Off

Talking about blowing your top off.

The Jorishie building in downtown Webster Springs suffered significant roof damage Wednesday as a result of the storms that blew through the county knocking power out to thousands. The photos below are from the Webster OES/911 Facebook page.











Morris Pours in 28 Points in Pioneer Playoff Pounding

Fresh off his selection to the first team all Mountain East Conference, Brett Morris poured in 28 points to lead the Glenville State College Pioneers to an easy 84 to 66 win over the University of Virginia at Wise in a first round playoff game on Wednesday evening at the Charleston Civic Center.

Glenville advances in the MEC tournament to face number two seed W. Liberty on Friday at Noon at the Civic Center.
