Archdeacon: Wright State’s ‘Power Couple’ a big boost to hoops programs

Alexis Hutchison and Bo Myers

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

By Tom Archdeacon

The White House had Barack and Michelle.

Hollywood has Ben Affleck and J-Lo and, in music, there’s Jay-Z and Beyonce`.

Now, Wright State has Alexis and Bo.

This past spring, Alexis Hutchison and Bo Myers transferred to Wright State — and the respective Raiders’ women’s and men’s basketball programs — after getting their undergrad degrees at Malone University. Both of their hoops careers at the NCAA Division II school in Canton were impressive and, when taken together, made them something of a celebrated couple on campus.

“Yeah, sometimes people would call us The Power Couple,” Hutchison laughed.

The pair met soon after coming to campus four years ago — she from Centerville High School, where she was captain of the girls’ basketball and soccer teams and he from tiny Rockbridge, the Hocking County crossroads, and Logan High School, the nearby D-1 school where he became the all-time career scorer.
