Morris hoping to chop down Washington

In a lot of ways, Saturday's Class 5A playoff matchup between Morris and Washington boasts teams of similar ilk. Both run defenses that are comparable, both offenses can both spread out a defense or go with the power run and both are friendly.

Well, Friend-ly anyway.

Both the Redskins and Panthers have players whose best players, arguably, have the last name of Friend. Morris defensive end/tight end Danny Friend is a 6-5, 250-pound standout and Washington linebacker/fullback Chris Friend is a 5-9, 220-pound junior.
