Christian County continued to pour it on in the second, leading by 30 after a layup by Morrison and triggering a running clock on a KJ Vaughn bucket with just over two minutes left in the first half.
Miles scored all of his game-high 17 before halftime, and Morrison had 13 at the break.
8th-grader Lashaud Smiley was the lone Falcon in double figures, just missing a double-double with ten points and nine rebounds.
