I am sad to announce the passing of Harriett Morrison. As someone who has been around the game of volleyball for a long time both as a coach and official, I can honestly say that I have never met a finer human being. Although Harriett may be a legendary volleyball coach, her contributions to the lives of countless young people is a far bigger accomplishment.

(The Obituary below is from The Sharon Herald.)

(However, I would challenge you to use this link to view a Post-Gazette article from 2004 that so much better describes the true Harriett Morrison)

Harriett Morrison, who built the Farrell High girls volleyball team into a perennial powerhouse, died on Thursday at the age of 74.

Morrison has been inducted into the WPIAL Hall of Fame and the Pennsylvania Volleyball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. She was also a finalist for the Dapper Dan Sportswoman of the Year.
