COAL CITY — In the final game of the Coal City Turkey Tournament Saturday night, Morris pulled out a 56-45 win over the host Coalers, giving the Redskins a 2-1 finish in the tournament.

Morris came into the game shorthanded as several of its top guys were all still playing football the Redskins, limiting head coach Joe Blumberg to only 10 players.

Despite the lack of depth, Morris was able to start strong,  jumping out to a 16-12 first quarter advantage. Senior Ben Ortiz led the way early, as he scored eight of his team-high 17 points in the opening frame for the Redskins.
