“Elsa was a very tough out, and if she did get a chance to hit, it was usually a bomb. Behind the plate, she completely eliminated the ability to swipe bases. I would say she personally beat us twice—although we attempted to pitch around her.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-11 sophomore catcher batted .617 with 23 home runs this past season, leading the Admirals (33-7) to the Class 4A state tournament. Morrison scored 52 runs and drove in 71 while also banging out 16 doubles. The District 4-AAAA Player of the Year, she walked 51 times and struck out only twice while posting a .757 on-base percentage and a 1.543 slugging percentage. A transfer from Carmel (Ind.) High, where she was co-MVP of the softball team as a freshman, Morrison allowed just four stolen bases, gunning down 7-of-11 would-be base stealers from behind the plate.
