Ron Morris is a columnist for The State newspaper. He has won numerous national and state awards for his writing, but is most known for once counting the number of times a ball bounced in a college basketball game, hitchhiking across the country and running one marathon.
Despite rumors to the contrary, Ron has no allegiance to either USC or Clemson - he graduated from UNC Charlotte.
