I was in touch with the archives at Duke library and ordered a game tape (the only one they had from that era) which showed Morgan in a Dixie Classic matchup against West Virginia and their star, Rod Hundley. The archivist even sent me the box score: Junior outscored Hot Rod 11-2. Junior also had 11 rebounds and only 4 fouls! He was quite a presence on the floor...
My father told me he sent my tape to Junior after he saw him at the homecoming football game a few years ago and he said that "made his year".
Another Blue Devil in heaven...
