On Friday, January 6th, 2017, Morton Potter fans, friends and family came to the Morton Potterdome to recognize and celebrate one of the greatest Potters of all-time. Potters of all ages didn’t want to miss the opportunity to applaud Brooke Bisping and watch her become only the 7th Morton Potter (3rd Lady Potter basketball player) to have their jersey retired in honor of their illustrious athletic accomplishments and outstanding representation of Morton High School.
On this night, Brooke’s #13 would forevermore join Cindy Bumgarner’s #22 and Tracy Pontius’s #5 as the only Lady Potter basketball players to receive this honor. Brooke (2005-09), Cindy (1981-84) and Tracy (2003-07) also rank #1, #2 and #3 respectively in career points scored for the Lady Potters.
When given the opportunity to address the crowd, Brooke thanked everyone in attendance, and gave special thanks to her teammates, her family, Coach Becker and to God for making her into the person she has become today. There is no doubt that she will always be remembered for her accomplishments and contributions to the program as well as her strength of character.
Well deserved congratulations are certainly in order to Brooke Bisping and THANK YOU Brooke for all that you have done for the Morton Lady Potter program!!!
