Sharron Young Becomes All-Time Leading Scorer at Morgantown HS

Sharron Young, senior guard, became Morgantown High School’s all-time leading scorer on Friday night with a 94-41 win over Greenbrier East. Young scored 30 points, which was enough to pass Jay Jacobs, who held the school’s record for 68 years.

Young will wrap up his final season with the Mohigans and then heading up to Akron to play college basketball.

Young chose Akron over Kent State, Murray State, Ohio, Radford, West Virginia and Western Kentucky in early October. Young took visits to Akron, Ohio and West Virginia.

Young (6-foot, 150 pounds) is not ranked yet by the main recruiting databases, but held offers from Akron, Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Drexel, Kent State, Mount St. Mary’s, Murray State, Northeastern, Ohio, Penn, Radford, Rhode Island, Southeastern Louisiana, SC State, West Virginia, Western Kentucky, Winthrop and Youngstown State. Young led Morgantown HS to back-to-back WV Class 4A State Championships in 2022 and 2023.

Morgantown High School HC Dave Tallman went into detail about how Young has improved.

“Sharron continues to improve each day and works hard in the weight room to get bigger and stronger. He’s a great kid off the court but a ‘dawg’ on the floor. He really knows how to flip that switch. He’s extremely fast and is a great floor general. His toughness is always present. He plays with a chip on his shoulder,” Tallman said. “We’re excited to have him back for one more run.”
