Providence ends Morris' girls season

COAL CITY — For one half, it was a lack of opportunities — and stops — that cost Morris. For the other half, it was a lack of accuracy.

The fourth-seeded Redskins were defeated 51-33 by No. 4 Providence Monday during quarterfinal play at the Class 3A Coal City Girls Basketball Regional. Providence will face No. 1 Joliet Catholic at 6 p.m. in Tuesday's first semifinal, with No. 2 Coal City and No. 3 Lincoln-Way West playing in the second.

Morris made over 61 percent of its field-goal attempts in the first half, yet trailed 34-26 at its conclusion after only shooting 13 times. A 2-for-19 showing kept the Redskins from threatening seriously in the second half, even though Providence endured 8-for-25 shooting itself.
