The Morton Lady Potters finished the 2018-19 Season with a record of 33 wins and 3 losses and captured their 4th IHSA Class 3A State Championship in the last 5 years!!!  That is a pretty hard act to follow, but the 2019-20 Morton Lady Potters put together a historic season that included a school record 37 wins (2nd most in IHSA history) & a return trip to Redbird Arena for the Final 4 & a State Runner-up finish.  The 2019-20 Lady Potters won 6 Championships, along the way to their 37-1 season, including the Morton Thanksgiving Tournament Championship, State Farm Holiday Classic Championship, Mid-Illini Conference Championship, Regional, Sectional & Super-Sectional Championships.

This year's Lady Potter team faced & overcame much adversity throughout the year, in terms of injuries to key players.  Senior Captain & starter, Maddy Becker, was only able to play the first 23 games of the year, as a knee injury ended her season, for the 2nd year in a row.  Maddy is one of the Lady Potters all-time best 3-point shooters & was having an exceptional year before the injury.  The Lady Potters also lost Junior Raquel Frakes to a broken wrist & a knee injury, which limited her to only 20 games during the season.  Coach Becker referred to Frakes as "The best 6th man in the State" & added a whole other level of athleticism to the Potters rotation.  1st team All-State Senior Captain, Lindsey Dullard missed 6 games of the season with concussion & Senior Starter Peyton Dearing also missed a game & played in others with a Kidney Stone problem.  Through each injury though, the Potters stepped up, didn't make excuses & kept finding ways to win through leadership, persistence & a developing Sisterhood.

The Lady Potters will graduate 7 Seniors from this year's team, including All-Conference players Lindsey Dullard (C), Courtney Jones (C), Maddy Becker (C) & Peyon Dearing, as well as prime time reserves Olivia Remmert (C), Makenna Baughman & Abby Steider. Dullard also was selected as 1st Team All-State & will attend the University of Alabama Birmingham on a basketball scholarship next year.  Jones & Dearing were also selected All-State Special Mention & will also be full scholarship players at Illinois Central College (Jones - Basketball) & Illinois State University (Dearing - Soccer).  This Senior Class of 2020 had unprecedented success for the Lady Potter Program, finishing their careers with a record of 135-8, including 2x IHSA State Champions & a Runner-up trophy.   Jones, Dullard, Becker & Remmert had a perfect Conference record (56-0) in their 4 years with the Potters, which had never been done before.

The Potters will return All-Conference & All-State 2nd Team Sophomore starter Katie Krupa next year, as well as Juniors Frakes, Cailyn Cowley, Sedona McCartney, Claire Reiman & Faith Hostetler, Sophomores Maggie Hobson & Paige Griffin & Freshman Gaby Heer.  They will look to carry on the traditions of Sisterhood & Excellence.

Thank you to everyone that came out and supported the team this season!  Your support & encouragement meant more than you can imagine.  As you have proved every year...  Potter Fans are the BEST!!!
