BATH

After a back-and-forth first quarter, the Morse High School boys basketball team took control in the second quarter and pulled away for a 65-50 Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference victory over Lincoln Academy on Monday at Bath Middle School.

Just three days after an emotional loss to Brunswick on Friday, the Shipbuilders ran their record to 1-1.

“It was an important win for us,” said Morse coach Brian Bennett, whose Shipbuilders visit Westbrook on Friday at 7 p.m. “We used a lot of energy in the game with Brunswick, then had one practice and right back at it Monday. We found that energy.”

The Eagles (0-2) led 18-16 after a quarter, but Morse grabbed a 32-26 halftime lead and extended out to a 42-34 advantage after three quarters.

In the fourth, Lincoln Academy made a run, but fouls, along with a pair of technical fouls, allowed Morse to cash in on its chances.

Tom Warren had 24 points and eight rebounds to power Morse, while Parker Onorato had 15 points and four steals. The Shipbuilders were 20-of-34 from the freethrow line.
