Basketball, Bonds & the Pursuit of Greatness with Jeff Morton and Journi Versie

Jeff Morton is a Paragould basketball legend whose all-time scoring record stood for over 15 years. But in this episode, we go deeper than stats. Jeff joins us alongside his daughter, Journi Versie, a rising star from Marked Tree and the first Lady Indian to notch 1,000 points AND 1,000 rebounds. Journie had 35 scholarship offers, but chose nearby Williams Baptist University to continue basketball into college. 

From stories of hardwood glory to hilarious memories of the Paragould Championship Wrestling league (yes, you read that right), this episode is full of laughs, legacy, and love.

We talk adoption, finding your identity in a family and on a team, and what it means to chase excellence without losing who you are.
