New Lexington star named MVP in impressive all-around performance
Muskingum Valley All-Stars defeat Licking County for 4th consecutive year

PATASKALA — It was fourth-and-8 from the Licking County 45-yard line on the game’s opening drive and Muskingum Valley coach Cameron West was already facing one of those precarious positions.

Lyall fired a strike to New Lexington’s Bentley Hanson for a 43-yard completion down the seam that led to a Jayden Wallace 1-yard touchdown run.
It was the first big play in a Most Valuable Player performance for Hanson, who led the Muskingum charge in a 34-15 win on June 20 at Licking Heights High School.
West got a win in his final game — he is Tri-Valley’s new head principal and resigned as head coach in May. Counting his 2008 win as a quarterback and two other stints in a coaching capacity, West finished 4-0 in Muskingum-Licking games.
