Good thing it wasn’t raining out Friday, because neither the Morrison Eagles nor Centertown Warriors could find their way inside.It was the Morrison 5-6 grade Eagles who took the win, 29-18, making the evening a clean sweep for the teams in green.Both teams played a tight defense keeping scoring to a minimum.Shutting out Centertown, 6-0, in first-quarter, the Eagles led, 16-8, at the half before putting up the best offense of the night, again shutting out the Warriors, 13-0 in third-quarter play.“The game got off to a slow, sluggish start for us,” said Morrison coach Kyle Cannon. “Centertown’s boys were quick and really hustled. Our defense and rebounding finally picked up in the second half.
