SCULLY SIGNS WITH BLUE HOSE MEN’S HOOPS

CLINTON, S.C. —Matt Scully, has signed a national letter of intent to play basketball at Presbyterian College announced today by eleventh-year head coach Gregg Nibert.

Scully, a 6-1 guard from Atlanta, Georgia, helped Marist High School to the 1999-2000 3-A State Championship with a 28-2 record. During his four-year career with the War Eagles, Scully helped the program amass a 93-15 overall record, the second best four-year mark in school history. Scully averaged 8.0 points, 6.3 assists, shot 74.7% from the charity stripe and led the team in steals his senior year. He was named the team’s “Best Defender” while being named “DeKalb Tip-off Player of the Month” in January and “DeKalb 3-A Player of the Month” during his senior year.

“We are pleased to sign a player of Matt’s caliber to our program,” said Nibert. “He is a excellent player on the court and we look forward to his contributions for the next four years.”

Scully becomes the fourth signee for Presbyterian, who are coming off of the 1999-2000 campaign which saw them compile a 12-15 overall record including a 10-6 record in the South Atlantic Conference. The conference mark was good for third in the league which extends the Blue Hose streak to 10 seasons they have finished in the top-three in the league. Richard Adams (Columbia, S.C.), Andrew Dellinger (Strasburg, VA), and Ben Touchberry (Blacksburg, S.C.) signed national letters of intent earlier this year.
