Mercer Island’s stadium has been renovated, but the memories of Jordan Morris tearing up the soccer field resurfaced Tuesday.
The Sounders FC forward returned to his alma mater to be inducted into its Hall of Fame. About 200 people attended the ceremony on the new field, and Morris stayed well into the night to sign autographs and take pictures with the dozens of young soccer players present.
Former Islanders coach Colin Rigby and current coach Forrest Marowitz recounted Morris’ career at the school. In two seasons as a varsity player, Morris set a still-standing school record for most points in a season at 65 and graduated in 2013 with 32 career goals and 26 assists.
