CJP Center Charles Morris Retires

After two years of playing for Curtis J. Phillips Basketball, center Charles Morris has retired from the team. Morris is retiring from the Lawrence Parks and Rec Men's Basketball League as he is moving to San Diego, CA. Morris was the lone tall man for team CJP over the last two years as he was the only player on the team that stood over six foot, three inches. The team will miss not only his height but his smile, handsome looks, unhurried attitude, and overall basketball abilities that helped lead the team to two league championships.

The Curtis J. Phillips thanks Charles Morris for his contributions to team CJP.
Team owner and namesake Curtis J. Phillips had the following to say on Morris leaving team CJP and heading to San Diego, "I am very, very close to all of my players so I am very sad to learn that Chase is leaving the team. I understand that Chris is moving to San Diego. I got to know Chandler this summer at the 50th Legion Athletic Camp and even saw him in action on the hardwood. On one play Chip had five straight offensive rebounds...mind you he was rebounding his own shots. I am super happy that I had the chance to meet Chata and wish him the best of luck."
