Morris finished her four-year varsity career with 1,323 points and 616 rebounds as well as 301 assists. She averaged 14.8 points and 8.9 rebounds a game this season for Tanque Verde, which finished 24-7 overall and 8-2 in the 3A South for coach Michael Edwards.
Morris also swam for Tanque Verde through her sophomore year and was part of the Tucson Rattlers’ girls basketball club team through 2018.
“I am confident that I will not be out-worked,” Morris mentioned in a statement on Tanque Verde’s Web site. ” I have a passion for the game and I’m driven to spend countless hours outside of team practices to improve my individual skills, shooting thousands of shots each month. I will continue to strive to get better every year and give 100 percent every time I step on the court.”
