Anthony Cowan Jr. wins Most Valuable Player
Taylor Co’s Coach Gatewood thought being young played a part in Sloan committing the foul. “He’s (Sloan) gotta be smart, He’s 15 years old. He’s a young sophmore. We will learn from this and we will get better.” David Sloan, Quentin Goodin, and Brandon Berry combined for 49 of Taylor County’s 56 points in the tough loss.
