Morrell also guided the Grizzlies to the NJCAA and JC Gridwire titles in 2003 with another perfect 12-0 record, while playing in three other national title games (2001, 2004 and 2010). Morrell has ended the season playing for a title every other season (six times in 12 years).

Morrell led the Grizzlies to the 2010 and 2011 Jayhawk Conference titles, as well as eight straight Jayhawk Conference titles between 2001 and 2008, the longest such streak in the history of the conference.

Morrell has been named KJCCCCoach of the Year five times (2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008). That honor is just one of many Morrell has garnered during his tenure with the Grizzlies.
