The
Warrior Baseball Family is sad to communicate that former Warrior, Corey
Morris, died last evening in an automobile accident. Corey played for
Western in 1995, the year that the Warriors went undefeated in the
Valley and made it to the quarterfinals in the state tournament.
Corey's brother Scott also played baseball at Western, and his sister-in-law,
Laura Gough, was a team manager. The Daily Progress ought to
have more information. |
