Kingwood denies Elkins
Mustangs keep Knights off boards, scoreboard

Toney McCray looked to the ceiling in wonder. Then the Elkins senior wing looked blankly toward his bench and pumped his fist in frustration after he was stripped of the ball on the way to the basket with under three minutes to go.
