They really took it to Morgan for the full four quarters, racking up a 77-48 victory at home.

That makes it two consecutive games in which Justice has scored at least 25% of Emery's points. The team also got some help courtesy of Zack Tuttle, who scored 11 points.
Emery's win bumped their record up to 5-1. As for Morgan, they have fallen quite a ways from their 17-8 record last season and are now at 2-5.
