Very physical and athletic, she first came up as a middle in the last club season with great promise. Because of her incredible offensive potential, Ochelli was moved to outside hitter during the high school season with Fort Bend Kempner. The move helper her develop other areas of her game and opened the door to her transition to the right.

She'll be with Houston Skyline 17 Royal in the 17 Open division and it will be a great opportunity to see how she performs against elite competition.

Morton's main assets on the court are her length and her athleticism and she uses them very well to make an impact at the net.
