Medora gets win over Washington Catholic
The Medora boys basketball team came within the final minute of two games last week to get wins against Crothersville and Cannelton, but the Hornets couldn’t capitalize in key moments.
On Saturday, however, Medora left no doubt about the final score as the Hornets hosted Washington Catholic and scored a 64-36 victory.
Braxton McCory had a big night for the Hornets, scoring 29 points while making nine 3-point baskets. McCory’s other two points came at the free-throw line.
Shepard Earl scored 12 points, Eli Sturgill had 11, Dawson Cornett had seven and Isaiah Miller had five.
It was Medora’s fourth win on the season, improving their record to 4-18 on the year. The Hornets will close out their regular season this Friday night when they host Rising Sun.
