A big change in positions kept Argonia’s Tori Morrison on her toes last season, but it didn’t slow her down. Morrison was a first team all-league selection.
“I’m preparing for this season by practicing as hard as I can because I want to improve my overall performance,” Morrison said. “Last year was my first year ever playing middle hitter so I am still learning that position. I am definitely undersized for the position which is something I can’t change so I really have to use my vertical and quickness to make up for my lack of size. I have to focus on doing the best I can for my team.”
Trying to keep up on both sides of the ball, Morrison has quite a few goals she’s hoping to accomplish this season.
“This season I’m focused on improving defensively and becoming more aggressive on offense,” Morrison said. “I would love to return to state and place higher than fourth. Hopefully, I can also reach my career goal of 1,000 kills and digs.”
Seeing tough competition every year is natural, but coming out on top isn’t always an easy thing to do. For Morrison, it’s always one of the best memories to look back on.
“The most memorable moment of my career so far was beating Attica twice in the substate finals my sophomore and junior year,” Morrison said. “No one expected us to come out on top either time but we fought hard and never gave up.”
