Fiona Morgan of Berean Academy was a promising rising star for the Warriors last season until a knee injury cut her season short.
Ever since, the junior has been working relentlessly to get back.
“I have been focusing on improving my strength and basketball skills so that I can start this new season better off than when I had to end last year’s,” Morgan said. “My personal goal this year is to continue working to be the best player and teammate I can be and to help my team play to the best of our potential.”
The Warriors clinched the state championship in 2023 with an impressive 25-1 record. After finishing last season at 16-6, the team is determined to make their way back to the top.
However, Morgan knows that the road to a state championship starts every day, not just in March.
“As a team leader this season, I am going to lead by example, encourage my team, and be everyone’s biggest ‘hype man,’” Morgan said. “But I am also going to hold my team accountable for our team goals and their personal goals because I want them to do the same for me. I will respect our other team leaders because to be respected as a leader, you have to respect your teammates, coaches, and other team leaders.”
