The Cardinals had won 10

Presidents led. 44-42, with seconds
remaining, when Morris stole the
ball and dribbled down court for
the layup that sent the game into
overtime. Another Morris bas-
ket in the final seconds of the
overtime accounted for the victory.
g. W., paced by Bobby Kessler,

coaches think Rothrock has done
the best job in the area. They
