The Morningside Academy Eagles won the last time they faced the Greenacres Christian Panthers, and things went their way on Monday too. Morningside Academy managed a 60-54 victory over Greenacres Christian. Given Morningside Academy's advantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 211th, while Greenacres Christian is ranked 525th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Morningside Academy to victory, but perhaps none more so than Damon Folds, who scored 20 points along with 9 assists and 6 rebounds. That makes it three consecutive games in which Folds has scored at least 25% of Morningside Academy's points. Elijah Clifford was another key contributor, dropping a double-double on 12 points and 15 rebounds.
Morningside Academy's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-1. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 62.5 points per game. As for Greenacres Christian, they still haven't won a game yet this season and fell to 0-5.
Morningside Academy's homestand continues as they prepare to take on John Carroll Catholic at 7:00 p.m. on December 5th.
