Posted: Sun Dec 28, 2014 4:04 pm
When the Meigs boys varsity basketball team defeated host Gallipolis Gallia Academy 55-53 Saturday night in the GA middle school gym, it was the Marauders first win over the Blue Devils since the tail end of the 1997-98 campaign—17 years ago.
That’s a longer hex than some of the ages of today’s Meigs players who are mostly sophomores and juniors.
Prior to Saturday night, MHS had lost 19 straight games to the Gallians.
Last Meigs win over GAHS was in the 1997-98 sectional tournament at South Webster, 52-47.
