S.C. — Tray Ballenger of Spartanburg,
S.C. has signed a national letter of intent to play
men’s basketball at Presbyterian College announced
today by 14th-year head coach Gregg Nibert. Ballenger, a 6-3, 200-pound
guard averaged 16.2 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.1
assists last season while playing for Byrnes High School
and head coach Rick
Leonard. He led Byrnes High School to the second
round of the state playoffs before losing to
Orangeburg-Wilkerson High School. He earned numerous
All-Tournament honors during his senior year and was
named MVP of the Spartanburg County All-Star Game. In
addition, he was named to the All-Region II 4A squad and
participated in the North-South All-Star Game. “Tray has tremendous
athletic ability,” said Nibert. “He will help us on
the perimeter next season at both ends of the court.” Ballenger becomes the third
signee for Presbyterian College this year. Earlier this
year, Mike Drum of Rural Hall, N.C. and Johann Collins of Raleigh, N.C. signed with the Blue Hose. |
