BC AA Provincial Champion and MVP Luke Morris signs with UFV Cascades Men’s Basketball team
Barnaby Craddock, head coach of UFV Cascades men’s basketball program, is pleased to announce the signing of recruit Luke Morris from Mission High School. The Mission, BC native joins the defending Canada West silver medalist, who broke ten school records during the 2011-12 Canada West campaign.
Morris, a six foot five inch forward, averaged 22 points per game in his senior year of high school basketball, pulled down 10 rebounds per game and was named the AA Most Valuable Player and led Mission High School to the 2011-12 AA Provincial Championship title.
“Luke has the ability to stuff the stat sheet and do a little bit of everything on the court. He handles the ball well, rebounds, shoots, passes and also can go inside and score near the basket,” said UFV Head Coach Barnaby Craddock. “Luke has been in many big games throughout his high school career, and by leading his team to the provincial title he showed he has the winning mentality to contribute in big games at the CIS level”.
“Like the rest of the young men in our program Luke represents the high level of talent that is coming out of the Fraser Valley high schools, and we couldn’t be more pleased to have him on board to help us represent Fraser Valley on a National Stage”. Morris joins Max Neuman and Rav Dhaliwal as recruits committing to UFV in the past several weeks.
“I’m extremely excited to be given the opportunity to play at the next level for Coach Craddock and one of the best basketball programs in the country. I’ve watched UFV play many times over the last few years and love how they compete and play as a team. I’m looking forward to being a part of that and studying at UFV,” said Morris.
