HS girls basketball preview: Memorial v. Morton Ranch

Memorial visits Morton Ranch in District 19-5A hoops action on Tuesday.

"Morton Ranch is a very well coached team," Memorial coach Jyusef Larry said.  "Coach Bowers does a great job with her girls."

"They have great size and they are relentless. We lack their size and anytime that's the case, we have to make sure that defensively we focus on limiting them to one opportunity each possession."

The Mustangs defeated Seven Lakes 43-29 Tuesday, moving to 12-12 overall and 5-1 in district play.

Kirby McDaniel, a senior guard, scores 15.7 points per game to lead Memorial.

After clashing with Morton Ranch, the Mustangs will host Mayde Creek on Friday at 7 p.m.

The Mavericks lost to Mayde Creek 56-40 Friday, falling to 7-18 on the year and 0-6 in district games.

Lyanne Colon, a junior, scores 12.3 points per game to pace Morton Ranch.

Following the Memorial tilt, the Mavericks will visit Taylor on Friday at 7 p.m.

Tuesday’s tipoff is slated for 7 p.m.
