Morris Named First Star

If Frank Morris keeps this up, he won’t be able to stay out of the spotlight.

The Thoms Construction winger was named the first star for the opening month of the Puffer season after scoring five goals and eight points in two games. Notoriously shy, he answered only a handful of questions after receiving the honour Monday morning and largely deflected the praise to his teammates.

Morris would much rather let his play do the talking.

“I’m just going out there and playing the game and doing whatever it takes to get wins,” he said.

He had a natural hat trick and 3 assists during a 6-3 loss against Hobarts on Oct. 12 and added two more goals in a 3-2 loss against Northpoint the previous week.

“Statistically it’s pretty clear the way he’s played,” said acting coach and league president Rob Lourie “There were some great performances obviously throughout the league, but Frank's done it in every game so I think it’s deserved.”
