BASKETBALL SOCIALITES

I know that it has been quite a while since I have posted anything. Fret no more. Just to start off right, here is a promo video for the Pelham High School Varsity girls and Junior Varsity boys basketball teams. The Pelham Hornets and Lady Hornets are currently in the Region 1AA tournament and both are gearing up for the Georgia state basketball playoffs. LET'S GO HORNETS!!!

Williams Signs with Longwood University

Hilary Williams made history for the Pelham High School Hornets when she became the first female and second basketball player to sign with a Division I school. Williams, who is known for her dynamic dribbling and passing skills, signed a letter of intent to attend Longwood University, located in Farmville, Virginia. Hilary signed on the become a Lady Lancer and to compete in the Division I Big South Conference, where she will be competing against schools such as, Presbyterian, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. The Pelham Lady Hornets head coach, Antonia Tookes, is sad to see Hilary go, but is so ecstatic and proud to see Williams move forward to the next level. The city of Pelham and everyone who has come across Hilary wishes her the best as she gears up for Longwood University.

Williams Named All-Star MVP

Pelham High School star senior point guard, Hilary Williams, participated in the Southwest Georgia High School Girls All-Star basketball game. The game, which was held in Albany at the Darton State College Cavalier Arena, consisted of seniors who hailed from the Albany area and from South Georgia. Williams, a dynamic pint guard, who was a member of the South Georgia team, simply stole the show. Hilary brought the capacity crowd to its feet with her skilled dribbling and her electric passes. She was unstoppable once the ball was in her hands. Williams simply let everyone know who is not aware of her basketball talents, what she is capable of. People took notice of the basketball skills Hilary possesses and awarded her with the girls Most Valuable Player award for the all-star game. Congratulations Hilary!

CATCH EVERYTHING!!!

#86 Justin "J.B." Scott-Wesley

Camilla's own and Mitchell County Eagles finest, Justin "J.B." Scott-Wesley posted this picture on his Facebook page with the caption, #catcheverything.  That is exactly what J.B. did this past Saturday when the Georgia Bulldogs took on the Clemson Tigers.  Although the Bulldogs came up short against the Tigers, 38-35, J.B. did what he was supposed to do and caught 4 passes for 55 yards on the night.  Lookout for J.B. as he and the rest of the Georgia Bulldogs take on the tough conference of the SEC.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL SPORTS BOUNTY READERS!  I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR DAY AND CONTINUE TO BE BLESSED TO LIVE IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY!!!
