CSUDH Volleyball Assistant Coach Jordan Morris Takes Home "Toros Texas Hold 'Em" Crown in Athletics Fundraiser
11/21/2007
Carson, CA -- For the second-consecutive year, a Cal State Dominguez Hills volleyball coach took home the grand prize at the 2nd annual CSUDH Athletics “Toros Texas Hold ‘Em” Tournament last Saturday, where proceeds benefited CSUDH student-athlete scholarships.
Toro volleyball assistant coach Jordan Morris bested an initial field of approximately 60 players as he emerged from the final two tables which included a bevy of CSUDH athletics personnel in Morris, baseball head coach Murphy Su’a and athletic trainer Ethan Kreiswirth, who all donated to the fundraiser.
The win, coming after Morris completed a flush on the river to beat the runner-up’s pocket aces for the crown, followed volleyball head coach Scott Davenport's victory in last year’s tournament, and gave Morris an Insignia 32” LCD Flat Screen television, the evening's grand prize.
“It was great tournament and a lot of fun to not only meet supporters of CSUDH athletics, but also to interact with them for a few hours,” says Morris. “Obviously, it was fun to win, but I think the cause made us all winners in the end. I can’t wait for Monte Carlo night in March 2008.”
