“If it’s open, I’m going to take it, but I’m not going to be dumb about it. If my teammates have a better shot, I’m going to pass them the ball because I can trust everybody on my team right now” said Greene County boys’ basketball senior Carter Morton when asked about being the leader scorer and having a shooter’s mentality. Morton hit just one field goal and scored 10 points on Monday night in a 57-46 loss at Ogden, but came back with 23 points including a trio of three-point goals on Tuesday at home in a 65-27 win over Perry.

Tonight, it’s the Heart of Iowa Activities Conference opener vs. South Hamilton (Jewell) in the middle school gym in Jefferson. The Rams have beaten the Hawks just once in the last three seasons during back-to-back-to-back HOIAC titles for SH. A coaching change and graduation may have an impact as the Hawks opened the season Tuesday with a 65-41 loss to South Central Calhoun (Lake City).

Tonight’s girl/boy doubleheader starts with the girls’ game at 6 p.m and the boys to follow. Coverage on KG98 and streamed on www.raccoonvalleyradio.com begins at 5:45 p.m.
