On December 8, several Morgan County area teams produced results that will influence early season expectations and local rivalries. The West Central girls team suffered its first loss of the winter, falling 60 to 50 at Havana despite a 19 point performance from Ali Little. The defeat interrupts West Central’s start and gives opposing programs an early advantage in assessing the conference landscape.

In boys action, Routt extended its strong start with a 67 to 49 nonconference victory over Litchfield. The Routt attack was led by Bryson Mossman with 25 points and Nolan Mossman with 15, numbers that underscore Routt’s depth and scoring balance as the season progresses. South County recorded a narrow 62 to 59 win over New Berlin, a game decided late thanks to scoring from Leo Bergschneider and Caden Colwell, who each finished with 20 points. South County’s close win highlights late game execution that can prove decisive in tightly contested conference play.

The overall roundup includes quarter by quarter scores and stat lines for multiple area teams, along with junior high results and other regional scores, providing a broad snapshot of the winter season across neighboring schools. Those detailed results offer coaches, players, and fans a clearer picture of team trajectories, individual performances, and matchup trends to watch as the schedule fills out.

Locally the results matter for several reasons. Early losses and wins set the tone for seeding in tournaments and for community support at home gyms. Individual scoring nights from players like Ali Little, the Mossman brothers, Bergschneider, and Colwell draw attention from college recruiters and add to each school’s narrative about developing talent. Junior high outcomes reported alongside varsity scores also point to depth in feeder programs and the sustainability of success for programs across the county.

As the season continues, these outcomes will factor into discussions about coaching strategies, scheduling, and community engagement around school sports. Fans and families will find value in the full stat lines and quarter by quarter breakdowns to track progress and to plan attendance at upcoming games that will shape the remainder of the winter season.
