Congratulations to the Basketball team

Congratulations to the girls’ basketball team from Morton High School.  Last Friday and Saturday, they played in the Quincy Invitational Tournament.  Friday, they defeated the 5th ranked team in the State of Illinois.  Saturday night they defeated the number one ranked team in the State (the team won the State High School Tournament last school year) to win the tournament.  They made 16 of 17 free throws to win the game by 2 points.  This is the second year in a row that Morton has defeated the number one ranked team.  In each case, the defeated team was the defending State Champions.  Again, CONGRATULATIONS!
