Thursday night, January 14, 2016, at Morrison High School was not a fun visit for the Prophetstown, IL, Lady Prophets.
The Morrison Fillies used a half court press to challenge the visitor’s ball handlers and sent them home with a 61-33 TRAC Conference defeat.
The Fillies started slowly, allowing the Prophets to stay within striking distance, and only led at half by a 27-20 advantage. But Morrison broke the game open in the third quarter, with the pressure press and a tight defense. Emma Sitzmore led all scorers with 18 points, and Emma Melton chipped in with ten.
