She shot 80 percent from the free-throw line and also averaged 46 percent from three-point range totaling 39 treys during the year.

“It’s a really good program and the coach is very prestigious,” Morris said. “I thought it would nice to play at that level.”

Also attracting her to Northern State is a newly-instituted 20-game junior varsity schedule allowing younger players to gain college-level experience before moving up to the varsity level.

“I’m really excited about that,” she said.

Morris was a first-team All-Greater Dakota Conference pick, as well as second-team All-State and a 2007 Class AA All-Tournament selection.

She will participate in the South Dakota Coaches all-star game in Aberdeen in July.

Morris is undecided on a major, but is considering the medical field, she said.

you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
