Former Wheelersburg great Camden Miller and Peebles/Maysville native Trevor Setty will square off today in the Division 1 NAIA national championship game in Kansas City. Setty, a 6’9" small forward(who was asked to walk on at Oklahoma St.),has led Pikeville to their first ever national championship game following a 20pt 11reb performance against #5 seed Martin Methodist in the fab four. The 6’8" Miller, a Marshall/Western Carolina transfer, has played a similiar role for Mountain State during the tourny as he is coming off a 14pt game against Georgetown(KY.) College. I just wanted to say congrats and good luck to both.
*Another interesting piece of trivia…Mountain State player Paul Sturgess is currently the tallest player in college basketball standing 7’8".
