Cyclone Student-Athlete of the Week: Jake Lanford
Jake Lanford is in the midst of a terrific junior year. He is our leading rebounder and one of the best big men in the State. He is a leader on and off the court and an incredibly hard worker who also excels in the classroom and every year is near the top of his class.
In last Thursday’s game, Orangeburg Prep was totally overmatched and Jake’s presence in the middle made it clear right away this was going to be a rough night for the visitors. He was a dominant presence and at times made it look unfair…finishing with four dunks on the night, all in traffic! There were several other excellent performances Thursday, most notably were Harrison Whatley (who led the team in scoring for the first time in his career with 14 points) and 8th grader Denham Wojcik who wowed the crowd with his ball handling, mature court presence and long range shooting.
