Athlete of the Week: Tinley Park's Morgan Shows Big-Play Ability

Titans senior running back displayed elusiveness on his 64-yard touchdown run in Tinley's 54-6 rout of Bogan on Friday night.

as the Titans’ offense clicked on all cylinders and the defense was stingier than The Simpsons’ Mr. Burns.

head coach Nick Johnston urges his running backs to hit the hole and run north-south, and the Titan backs obliged in the 54-6 victory. Senior running back David Morgan rushed for 105 yards, and he produced one of the most exciting plays of the game when he juked his way for a 64-yard touchdown run.

There were many standout performers for the Titans, but Morgan’s run earns him the honor of being the first Tinley Park Patch Athlete of the Week for the fall season.

“We compete hard against each other in practice. We’ve got running back brotherly love for each other,” Morgan assured.
