Fulton Tops Fillies in an Exciting Match |
| On the brisk night of Friday, January 30, Morrison hosted the Fulton Steamers for the Girls Pack the Place night. The gym was packed as the varsity game started and after seeing the Junior Varsity come out with a win by 9, Morrison fillies would try to follow suit.
The game started out very close, with Fulton scoring first, but Morrison came right back. The first quarter went in a see-saw fashion, with both teams scoring evenly on their own ends of the court. By the end of the first quarter the score was at 14-13, with the Steamers in the lead by one. Scoring came from Kelli Nelson with 6, Abby Vock with 3, Amanda Smith with 2, and Michaele Vock with 2. In the second quarter Morrison came fighting back and regained the lead. A free throw by Amanda Smith put the Fillies up by 4, their biggest lead of the game with a score of 20-16 with just under four minutes left in the half. Morrison increased their lead to 5 by the end of the quarter, with a score of 24-19. Scoring was from Amanda Smith with 5, Michaele Vock with 4, and Abby Vock with 2. In the start of the second half, the Steamers came out strong, coming out to a quick lead, which was increased due to sloppy defense by the fillies. By the end of the quarter, The Steamers had a score of 39, leading the Fillies by 8, who had 31. Abby Vock led the scoring in the 3rd with 3 points, followed by Amanda Smith and Amber Heller with 2. Early in the fourth quarter, both teams knew that it was still anyone’s game. Kelli Nelson came out with a quick 3 pointer, to draw to within 6 points of Fulton, but Morrison’s shooting became sloppy, and the Fillies weren’t able to score, and keep up with the pace of the Steamers. In the final Minutes, there was a lot of scoring from fouls, which gave Fulton the win. The final score to the game was 50-41. Michaele Vock scored 5, Kelli Nelson had 3, and Amanda Smith finished off with 2. TheCity1.com. All rights reserved |
