“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.
