The cost to be the boss: Morgan's Evans wins All-Area MVP

MORGAN -- Casey Evans epitomizes the notion that significant achievement comes with a cost.

The basketball star from Morgan High School didn't sit around all summer and then simply show up at tryouts in the fall expecting awards and accolades to be handed to him. Instead he worked on his game constantly.

Evans participated in offseason workouts, played in pick-up games and leagues, and spent long hours honing individual skills that needed improvement. In short, his remarkable senior season was many years in the making.
