While a snowstorm that blanketed the East Coast resulted in the cancellation of local high school events, colleges found time to squeeze in men’s and women’s basketball games last week.
Grafton alumnus and Virginia State University forward Elijah Moore posted the most impressive stat line last week with a double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds.
