Prep Report: Laster, Stidham lead Morristown to win over Centerville

Nolan Laster and Nick Stidham outscored the entire Centerville roster Saturday to get Morristown its second win of the season.

Morristown ended a 7-game losing streak to improve to 2-13.

Stidham hit three three-pointers in the opening quarter to stake Morristown to a 17-8 lead at the first break. Laster scored eight in the second quarter to get the Yellow Jackets to halftime with a 31-18 advantage.

Chase Clark scored seven of his team-high 16 points in the third quarter as Centerville cut the Morristown lead to 36-29 at the break.

The Bulldogs went 3-of-8 at the free-throw line over the final eight minutes to stifle any comeback attempt.
