The Morton Lady Potters soared past the Dunlap Eagles Tuesday night (12/13/16) by a score of 54-37, though the game wasn’t really that close.  Up 47-19 at the end of the 3rd quarter, Morton let up off the gas early in the 4th, and cleared the bench for most of the final quarter.  Dunlap elected to leave their primary players in to reduce their deficit and outscored the Potters by 11 in the 4th, but still came up 18 points short of victory.

The win leaves the Lady Potters with a record of 9-0 at the start of this young season and they stand alone in first place with a 3-0 conference record. Three teams are tied for second place… Metamora, Limestone and Pekin, with conference records of 2-1.  Pekin is Morton’s next opponent and that game will be Saturday, Dec. 17th at Pekin High School (6:30pm).

This Potter team has been impressive on both ends of the court throughout their first 9 games and have overwhelmed teams with their length, speed, court savvy, shooting and hustle on the court.   The most amazing thing about this team is that they haven’t begun to reach their potential yet.  If they do, even the sky may not limit these Lady Potters.

The Lady Potters will look to stay healthy and keep building momentum as they prepare for their next two conference opponents (Pekin & Canton) and then the State Farm Holiday Classic, Dec. 27th-30th.   Good luck with those semester Finals Lady Potters!!!
