“Mors is a very poised, smart basketball player who has the athleticism to do just about anything he wants to on the court. He can shoot it out to 25 feet and then he can go down low and play back to the basket. He’s a nightmare to prepare for.”
Craig Nelson
Head Coach Head coach at Washington High
