North Sanpete and Morgan squared off in some playoff action on Friday, but North Sanpete had to settle for second. They were beaten by the Morgan Trojans 58-27. If the Hawks were looking for revenge after losing 67-31 to them when the teams met back in December of 2016, then they'll just have to keep looking.
Despite the loss, North Sanpete still got an impressive performance from Elsie Bailey, who posted five points.
Morgan's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Alexis Burt, who scored nine points in addition to seven rebounds and six assists. Joyce Odum also deserves some recognition as she posted her first assist of the season.
North Sanpete has been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last 11 matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-17 record this season. The victory made it two in a row for Morgan and bumps their season record up to 14-10.
North Sanpete does not have any more games scheduled as of now. Morgan will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Emery at 9:10 p.m. on February 24th. Morgan knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 11 contests -- so hopefully Emery likes a good challenge.
