AUGUSTA, Ga.
– Augusta State men's basketball head coach Dip Metress
announced Thursday the signing of Virginia high school standout
Dominic Morra to a national letter-of-intent.
A 6-0, 175-pound guard from Lake Braddock High School in Burke,
Va., Morra was named the Patriot District's Co-Player Of The
Year and a two-time, all-region selection.
The leading scorer in the metro-Washington, D.C., area, Morra
averaged 30 points per game, seven rounds and four assists for the
Bruins as a senior during the 2008-09 season.
"Dom is a true point guard that has shown the ability to
score," Metress said. "Dom comes from the Northern
Region which is the same region that (ASU players) Steve Smith,
Daniel Dixon, and Tye Beal played in. When I watched the 36th
Annual Capital Classic Preliminary game on April 9, I thought he
was the best point guard on the floor. He is a great fit for our
team next year and I look forward to watching his development at
the toughest position to play in college basketball, the point
guard spot."
The Jags return three starters and nine letterwinners from last
season's 30-5 squad that was ranked as high as No. 3 in the
nation and advanced to the Final Four for the second consecutive
season.
