Farris reached All-State status in Division 2 last year at The Palace, but fell short of fulfilling his goal of winning a state championship. He won the consolation bracket and finished in third. In 2010, he finished sixth.
“Sixth to third,” Morgan said last year. “That’s an improvement, not what we really wanted, but it’s an improvement.”
This year its state title or bust for Farris.
