Morgan Craft’s Two Picayune Comebacks: On The Gridiron And The Diamond
SUMMARY: Morgan Craft, a junior at Picayune High School and a promising baseball and football athlete, suffered a significant setback during the 2023 baseball season after tearing his ACL and damaging his meniscus when fielding a routine popup. Despite the injury, he led the coast in hits and RBIs, batting .400, and played 12 more games before undergoing surgery. Craft's injury also impacted his role as one of the top placekickers for the Maroon Tide football team. After a challenging rehabilitation process, he made a remarkable comeback to the football field, contributing to the team's success and even committing to play both sports at Pearl River Community College (PRCC). Now, with high hopes and a strong work ethic, Craft is focused on leading his team in baseball, cherishing every moment on the field after his recovery journey.
