M.J. Morris hasn’t thrown fewer passes in a game this season. He’s also never done more to win a game.

Carrollton’s senior quarterback was 10-of-11 passing for 196 yards and two touchdowns, one a 33-yarder for the winning touchdown with 41 seconds left in a 37-32 victory over fifth-ranked Westlake in the Class 6A quarterfinals. Morris (pictured with head coach Joey King), who is committed to N.C. State, also caught a 25-yard TD pass from himself, rushed for 82 yards and quick-kicked a 41-yard punt that was downed at the 1-yard line.

The victory put Carrollton in the semifinals after five straight seasons of quarterfinal defeats.

Morris is GHSF Daily’s state Player of the Week. The award is sponsored by AstroTurf and Sports Turf.
