  1. John Morris, one of the legends in the 2011 Hall of Fame class, was not Mac Morris’s brother. I know that Mac Morris does have a brother named John, but the John Morris who’s being inducted was a coach at Edenton High School, Roxboro High School, Reidsville Senior High School (where his teams won state two 3-A football championships), and High Point Andrews, and then completed his career as the High Point City Schools Athletics Director from 1976-1984. And coincidentally, John Morris coached Mac Morris in Mac’s high school days. Congratulations to all the inductees – an outstanding class!

  2. Thought Mac’s brother coached at HP Andrews and maybe there were a lot of crossovers……More power to all the Morrises…..I played HS football with a kid named John Morris and probably not Hall of Fame qualified, but he was real good and brother Glen was even better and again, more power to the Morris families, we learn something new every day and I have to say Coach Mac Morris was one of the best……The man knew basketball defense as good as anyone that I have seen coach the game on the college or high school level……
