By By Bob Putman, Richwood Gazette 

 

When something is done over and over, it can become mundane as if it is nothing special. North Union girls basketball coach Mitchell Loomis does not subscribe to that train of thought.

“You know, it is a big deal,” Loomis said.

North Union last time it lost to a Mad River Division was on Feb. 3, 2021 when it lost 54-41 to Benjamin Logan.
