Redskins humbled by Prairie Central

FAIRBURY — For the fourth year in a row now, the Morris girls basketball team has opened its season at the Prairie Central Thanksgiving Tournament. Last year was a rough year for the Redskins in that they went 0-5 at the event.

Things got off to a much better start for the locals this year as they opened up with a 42-38 win Monday over Decatur MacArthur. However, on Tuesday the Redskins ran into a red-hot Prairie Central team and lost to the Hawks by a 66-28 score.

"This is a nice tournament. When we first got into it, it was more of a (Class) 2A Tournament and now four of the five teams here are 3A," Morris coach Luke Windy said. "We don't get a chance to see a lot of these teams. It's a nice little 3A Tournament for us."
