At Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa, Okla., Morgan played shortstop and gained all-district, almetro and conference most valuable player honors.

But Oklahoma State was interested, too.
"They didn't talk to me about playing shortstop," Morgan said. "They didn't give me a money offer
a scholarship. After I said Kansas is where I want to be, Oklahoma State called back."
It was too late, and Morgan was going to Lawrence. She doesn't regret that decision for a second, even after struggling at the plate as a sophomore and junior and being hummed

out of her starting shortstop position and into left field.
"She kind of had a stretch where she was struggling a little bit fielding." Luedeke said. "We hoped to push Katie and try to help her out of her slump. It ended up we left Michelle Hubler there."
Morgan never complained about
one move, either. Luedek said Morgan did the best she could and whatever it took to help the Jayhawks.
It will take Morgan and the rest of her teammates doing all they can this weekend. Kansas returns to Morgan's home state of Oklahoma to face Oklahoma State in a double-header tomorrow and a single game on Sunday.
This weekend will be Morgan's next to last three-game weekend series before she finishes her softball career. A batting average higher than .300 and a near-perfect fielding percentage show that Morgan isn't relaxing at all.
"Her mind is still here on softball." True said. "She has a lot to be proud of during her career at KU, and she wants to go out with a bang."

Missouri has been the biggest surprise of the conference. The Tigers were picked to finish last in the preseason coaches poll and were coming off the worst season in school history with a 19-34 record in 1995..

"It's been a pleasant surprise," Missouri coach Tim Jamieson said. "Before the season started there had been a lot of uncertainty with our pitching. But our pitchers have really come through and we have enough depth where we can expect to win this thing."
"But their (Oklahoma, Oklahoma State) advantage is experience. They've been there before and know what success is like and how

to attain it. We're still learning that,
but we're hungry."
Colorado does not field a team
The Jayhawks control their own destiny. Not only do they play Nebraska in three games this weekend, but their last five conference games are next week with sixth place Kansas State. Kansas has the home field advantage in three of those games.

This week's series between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State was more like basebrawl than baseball. The teams had a bench-clearing brawl in both Tuesday's and yesterday's games. The Cowboys Josh Holliday and the Sooners Derek Wathan were each suspended for one game for their role in Tuesday's brawl. No suspensions have been handed out for yesterday's game.
"I think the fact that those games are in Columbia will really be key," Jamieson said. "We have a hand in where we finish."
The Cowboys will have to be at full strength when they travel to Missouri this weekend for a pivotal three-game series.
