Kennesaw State University Athletics

Jolene Morris (1985-88) is a pioneer in the history of Kennesaw State Athletics and its softball program. After signing the first scholarship in softball program history, Morris helped lead the slow-pitch Owls to three NAIA District titles and Georgia Conference championships. She was a three-time All-NAIA District 25 and All-Georgia Conference selection, and holds six game, 10 season and 15 career records. Morris concluded her career with a 124-31 record, 1.66 ERA, 31 shutouts and 115 strikeouts. She is also the program's slow-pitch record holder for home runs in a game, season and career. Following her career at Kennesaw State, Morris moved on to West Georgia where she served as a graduate assistant and earned a master's degree. She was honored with induction into the Kennesaw State Softball Circle of Honor this past spring, and currently serves as principal at Chapel Hill Middle School in Douglasville, Ga.
