Those who packed the Gauchos Gym in the Bronx Sunday came expecting to talk about one guard but left talking about another as Vic Morris scored a game-high 28 points to lead the Cardozo boys’ basketball team to an 82-77 win over two-time defending PSAL champions Lincoln in the Big Apple Invitational.

Morris didn’t get a chance to go head-to-head with Railsplitters phenom Sebastian Telfair but that didn’t matter to the lightning quick junior guard. He played an up tempo game but did so under control. He added five rebounds and four assists for the Judges, which shot 56 percent from the field.
