Item Athlete of the Week – Niya Morgen

Joey Barrett

by

You know what I’ve been thinking? St. Mary’s girls basketball star Niya Morgen can’t stop scoring. In a week when her team went 3-0 and won the Wilmington Christmas Tournament, Morgen did it all. Against Bishop Stang, she scored 23, followed it up with an 18-point performance against Reading, and concluded her week with another 22 against tournament host Wilmington. Deservedly so, she was named to the all-tournament team. Morgen is also averaging 18.7 points per game this season, establishing herself as one of the best players on the North Shore. With Morgen helping to lead the way, the Spartans are 8-1 this season – that’s no coincidence. Niya, good week.
