One of the marks of a great player is the ability to impact winning in the inevitable games where you don’t have your best stuff, and Morton-Rivera embodied that sentiment on Wednesday with a gritty 21-point effort to extend his Judge career and quest for back-to-back state titles. The Temple commit came out hot with 13 points and all three of his 3’s before halftime, before an uncharacteristically slow second half and overtime(s) from a scoring standpoint. Nonetheless, Morton-Rivera remained impactful with his decisive slashing to help ignite the Judge offense along with tenacious effort as a rebounder on both ends of the floor. Already the greatest player in Judge history, he continues to add to his legacy with a chance to write the final chapter over the next week and change.
