South Pointe’s Manzey Miller and Xavier Silk Williams recently signed to play basketball in college.

Miller, the son of Jerome and Connie Miller is headed to Brevard College. He averaged 13 points, 4 ssists and 2 steals per game this season.

“Manzey Miller had an excellent year for our team,’’ Stallions coach Melvin Watson said. “Manzey made a big sacrifice of his game to fit into what we were building as a team last year, he bought into the team first mentally to make us a better team.

“He was a guy that could average 20 or more points, but he bought into trusting his teammates and their ability. His ability to lead and control things when it got hectic will be missed.”

Williams, son of Evelyn Mann, signed with Voorhees College. He averaged 7 points, 7 assists, 3 steals and 4 rebounds

“Xavier had a great year for us this year. He is the ultimate team guy that put playing for his teammates before himself. He was a huge factor as of why we were able to win the region, and was 14-4 in the second half of the season. His work ethic and leadership skills will be missed.”

•  HOME TURF: Clover’s turf management and maintenance crew has been rewarded for countless hours of hard work. The field it maintains at Clover’s High School’s Memorial Stadium has been selected as one of the nation’s best by Pioneer Athletics.

The field is one of 91 nationally and three regionally to be selected by Pioneer Athletics as a field of excellence.

During Friday’s presentation Jeff McAlister, a regional representative with Pioneer Athletics, spoke very highly of the facility. “The turf is definitely in great shape,” he said. “You can tell there is sports turf management and not just watering and cutting. There’s some special stuff going on here. The facilities are very nice and the field crew does a good job taking care of everything.”

This is the second honor this school year for the maintenance crew. Last fall, the group was presented the “field of the year” award for the third consecutive year by the South Carolina Sports Turf Managers Association for having the best turf field in the state.

Crew members who maintain the field are: Will Rogers, Frank Falls, Lee Clinton, Jamie Sciba, T.C. McCarter, and Dean McCarter.
