Scooter: AP Player of Year

BY RONNIE GALLAGER
SALISBURY POST

           
Scooter Sherrill was named this weekend as the Associated Press Player of the Year in North Carolina.

Was there ever any doubt?

It’s the All-American’s second such honor. Gatorade named him player of the year last week.

Sherrill, who averaged 25 points for Mike Gurley’s 28-2 West Rowan Falcons, is headed for N.C. State next season. He has already played in the McDonald’s All-American game in Boston and the Hoop Summit in Indianapolis. He is scheduled to play tonight in the Magic Johnson Roundball Classic at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Raleigh. It will be the first chance for local Wolfpack fans to see their team’s most heralded recruit.

ESPN will air the game at 8 p.m.

Joining Scooter on the first team is Brandon Clifford of Greensboro Page, who was second in the voting. His team was eliminated from the state playoffs by Davie County.

J.K. Edwards is a familiar face to South Rowan fans. The 6-7 forward from West Forsyth bulled his way through the Central Piedmont Conference for the past two seasons.

Dwon Clifton of High Point Westchester, a private school near High Point, was named. He is going to Clemson. Taron Downey, who averaged 30 points at Oxford Webb, rounds out the team.

The second team includes three familiar faces: Duane Phillips of Davie County, Alex Martin of High Point Central and Concord’s Marcus Cooke. Brad Hagaman of Wilkes Central and Bradley Blue of 1A Midway round out the second team.
