Grade 5 Basketball Team Finishes Second

Posted by

Sports skill sets require nurturing and maturing, to build skillful players. Morrison, IL, is fortunate to have several organizations and volunteers that add to experiential learning.

Volunteer Dustin Damhoff coaches a group of 5th grade boys on the Basketball court at Morrison Junior High School, twice a week. They began in December 2022 and played a triangular tournament on Saturday, January 7, 2023.

Team Morrison outscored Clinton, IA, then squeezed past Sterling, IL, Newman, by a point. Morrison lost the third game to Fulton, IL.

The youths will play every Saturday in February and March.
