Chris Clemons commits to Campbell
SEPTEMBER 30TH- Millbrook's senior point guard, Chris Clemons has verbally committed to play collegiate basketball at Division I Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC.
Clemons was unanimoulsy chosen as the Cap-8 Player of the Year in 2014 after scoring 13.4 points per game and leading his Wildcats to the 4A Eastern Regional Final. Chris took home All-Conference, All-Metro, All-District, and All-Regional honors last season, and was named the Coastal Federal Credit Union Scholar Athlete of the Month earlier this week.
The Camels are coached by Kevin McGeehan who enters his second season in Buies Creek, fresh off a 12-20 campaign in the Big South Conference. When asked about choosing Campbell, Clemons says, "they recruited me heavily this summer, and made me feel like they really had a need for me." he goes on to point out that "Campbell provides me the best opportunity to pursue both an athletic and academic career in college"
Campbell is on the rise in the Division I landscape as last season, they were able to be featured on national television on multiple occasions, and this upcoming fall, the Camels pay visit to Columbus to face Ohio State University. Clemons says that he really looks forward to an overseas trip with the team next summer, but most importantly after taking care of business back at Millbrook.
Looking forward to the 2014-15 season, Clemons has set lofty goals for both himself, and his fellow teammates, "I hope to see my teammates be able to enjoy the same experience as I have enjoyed in regards to their recruiting process this upcoming season, and to work on going undefeated and ultimately bring a state championship to Millbrook before I graduate."
Millbrook opens the 2014-15 season at home on November, 18th as the East Wake Warriors pay visit. Varsity is set to tip off that evening at 7:00pm. For more updates and news on Millbrook Basketball, stay tuned to our new website. Go Wildcats!
