Morgan Tuck (born April 30, 1994) is an American professional basketball player for the Connecticut Sun of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She completed her high school career at Bolingbrook High School in Bolingbrook, Illinois. She played on the USA Basketball U17, U18 and U19 teams, where she helped each team win a Gold Medal. She also played for Connecticut during her college years and won 4 consecutive NCAA championships with the team.
Tuck played from an early age, but didn't think she was very good at it. She got better, and was good enough to earn a roster spot on the USA U16 team, although a knee injury prevented her from competing as a part of that team. Her high school teams had a combined record of 83–7 in her first three seasons, each of which culminated in a state championship. She was named Freshman of the Year by ESPN Rise in 2009, as well as Sophomore of the Year in 2010. Her senior year, the team had a record of 27–2, reaching the supersectionals, and failing to win the state title for the first time in her career. She averaged 27.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game as a senior. She earned the title of Ms. Basketball for the state of Illinois twice, once as a freshman and again as a senior. Only two other players have won the award twice: Cappie Pondexter and Candace Parker.
The Tournament of Champions is an annual event, since 1997, showcasing the best high school girls basketball teams. The 2011 event, held in Phoenix, Arizona included 96 of the best basketball programs in the country. Bolingbrook, considered to be the number 1 team by USA Today, was assigned to the Smith Division, where they faced Cicero – North Syracuse High School (C-NS). The C-NS team, beat Bolingbrook 43–40 for their only loss of the tournament. After the loss to C-NS, Bolingbrook faced St. Mary's(Stockton, Calif.)
