Morton 59, QHS 55 (OT)

Quincy nearly pulled off the upset this morning at QJHS gym, but couldn't hold late leads in regulation and overtime.

QHS led by six with under two minutes left, led by junior Lindsay Barton's inspired play and clutch 3-pointer to break a 38-38 tie.

But Morton drained two 3-pointers and it took a late stand and Morton turnover at the end of regulation before the game went into overtime.

QHS trailed by five with under three minutes left but charged back, as freshman Darion Stephens hit a twisting layup and senior Emily Hart knocked down an off-balance 8-footer with 30 seconds left to put the Blue Devils ahead 55-54.

After an ensuring Morton turnover, QHS could not get the ball over the halfcourt line with 15 seconds to play, and Morton made a three-point play and hit two free throws in the final seconds.

Tori Kuhn had 20 points and 10 rebounds to pace QHS, with Hart adding 14 points and seven rebounds.
