Imagine being recruited to a university, rich in wheelchair basketball history, tasked with starting together a brand new team — Morgan Wood knows the feeling.
Wood, a graduate student in her fifth year with the Lady Movin’ Mavs, grew up in a sports-driven family that led her to pursue basketball.
She began playing wheelchair basketball during her freshman year of high school. She had learned about the sport during a summer camp in Nashville, when a group of kids approached her about joining their team.
Wood went on to play for the Music City Thunder wheelchair basketball team in Nashville for four years before attending the University of Memphis.
