NEW ORLEANS — For the second consecutive season, Xavier University of Louisiana's Morris Wright has earned honorable mention on the All-Louisiana collegiate men's basketball team.
Wright is a 5-foot-10 junior guard from Zachary, La., and a former Zachary High School and Baton Rouge Community College standout. He led the Gold Rush in 2014-15 with 14.9 points, 3.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game and 70 made 3-pointers. He is the first Xavier player to reach 400 points, 100 rebounds, 100 assists, 100 made free throws, 50 made 3-pointers and 50 steals in a season.
Wright helped the Gold Rush go 24-10, finish second in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference regular season and tournament and qualify for the Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I National Championship for a school-record fifth consecutive year. The Gold Rush ranked 21st nationally in the postseason coaches poll. Wright received NAIA All-America honorable mention and, for the second straight year, he was first-team All-GCAC.
Xavier's Dannton Jackson was fourth in voting for Coach of the Year, and Troy Salvant was fifth in voting for Freshman of the Year.
A Louisiana Sports Writers Association panel of media and sports publicists selected the All-Louisiana team, based on statistics and performances through the teams' conference tournaments.
