Morrison boys rough up Irving College
Everyone got into the act for Morrison’s boys Thursday night.
All 15 players who dressed out for the Eagles saw action, with 10 different players breaking into the scoring column in a 46-9 drubbing of Irving College in fifth- and sixth-grade basketball action.
The Eagles started a bit slowly on offense, managing just eight points in the first quarter. But defensively they held the visiting Tigers in check, keeping an 8-4 lead by the period’s end.
Morrison spread the wealth in the second period, turning in 15 points as eight different players scored. The defense kept up its pressure, as well, holding Irving College to just one field goal to take a 23-6 lead into halftime.
After the break momentum continued to be solidly in Morrison’s favor, as the Eagles held their guests to a single free throw in the third while racking up 14 points of their own and going into the game’s final stanza with a hefty 37-7 lead.
Led by Justin Ware, who came off the bench to score a game-high seven points, the Eagles also benefited from Charlie Krickel and Dakota Taylor, who posted six each.
Cody Fults and Tylan Martin had five points apiece, while three players — Tyler McElroy, Tyler Glenn and Andrew Kennamer — had four each. Dusty Robinson had three, with Jacob Hall rounding out the winning effort with two.
Irving College’s Grant Hoover netted five points, with Justin McGregor and Tyler Fults posting a basket each.
