Congratulations to our Mustangs: A-Team city champions & Superintendent's GPA Award winners!

The boys “A” basketball team from Morton capped the season with a hard-fought 47-39 victory over Southern Middle for the 2019 city championship. Morton also secured the award for highest GPA. The March 7 tournament finals saw several lead changes, and the score was tied late into the fourth quarter before Morton rallied behind Anderson Jones, who finished with 11 points. Coach Jeremy Jones also commended Konlin Brown for huge defensive plays down the stretch and Todd Dumphord for crucial assists and free throws. Mason Hawkins led the Mustangs with 21 points while Will Kessinger and Nathan Sloan hit the boards effectively. | Tournament brackets
