FOUR SIGN WITH SOUTHWEST BASKETBALL
Four student-athletes have signed National Letters of Intent to
continue their education and basketball careers at Southwest according
to Saluqis’ head coach Verties Sails Jr.
Former Bolivar Central High School player Olajuwan Kemp will join local
standouts Stanley McNeil (Treadwell High School), Ervin Herron
(Lighthouse Christian Academy) and David Evans (Oakhaven High School) on
the 2006-2007 Saluqis’ team.
As a senior in 2005, the 6’8” Kemp helped lead Bolivar Central to a 29-5
record and the district, region, and state championships. He was named
to the Class AA All-Tournament team and was selected to play in the
Memphis All-Star Classic at FedEx Forum.
A 6’1” guard, McNeil averaged 13.5 points per game as a senior for
Treadwell High and was named to the All-District 15AA team. He scored 20
more points in seven games including a season-high 28 against Hamilton.
Herron, a two-time member of The Commercial Appeal’s Best of the Preps
Team, was one of the state’s top scorers with a 25.4 average his senior
season. The 6’4” Herron scored at least 30 points eight times and had a
season-high 43 versus First Assembly Christian School. As a junior,
Herron was named the Millington Star’s Player of the Year and scored a
career-high 50 points against Macon Road.
Evans, a 6’8” post player, helped lead Oakhaven to a 19-9 record and
District 16AA runner-up his senior year. He averaged seven points per game
and scored a season-high 17 against Hillcrest.
