One of the key cogs in the wheel of success of the 2024-25 Minden Crimson Tide basketball team will take his play to the next level after signing a commitment with a near-by junior college.

Darnell Morris, a 6’4” forward/center has signed to play at Bossier Parish Community College in Bossier City. He was one of the key elements in the Tide’s march to its first LHSAA state championship tourney since 2021.

Minden finished the season with a 22-4 record after losing to district rival Bossier High in the state semis. Morris was the Tide’s leading scorer with 15 points and collected 11 rebounds in that game.

During his senior campaign, Morris averaged 13.6 points and eight rebounds per game. He also had 3.1 assists per game, 2.6 steals per game and averaged just over one block per game.
