Its feels good to see the dream of one of your former student athletes comes through. Darryl Slack wanted to earn a scholarship to college and play his favorite sport, basketball. Darryl, who graduated from West Virginia Tech last year, is using his final year of eligibility to continue to play his favorite sport and piled up an impressive stack of basketball NCAA Division I statistics: ranks #23 in 3-Pt Fg Pct (0.464), #26 in total steals, #30 in steals per game,#33 in total 3-Pt made and #35 in 3-Pt Fg made per game. He is averaging 14 points per game as one of the leading scorers for the West Virginia Tech - Golden Bears.
Darryl graduated from SW Atlanta Christian Academy, played on the same high school team as Dwight Howard and on an AAU team coached by Tony Hill and myself. His specialties were his three point shooting and his ball handling abilities. He played for us for several seasons and we remember him for being a very coachable student athlete who lived by his religious convictions. Last summer he toured Israel with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a trip that he says has been a highlight of his life.
Darryl is scheduled to be married this Fall to the lovely Jessica Alston. His plan is to coach young student athletes and share his basketball skills, life experiences and the Christian values that he has always maintained. I am happy to be a part of Darryl's life and we, at Atlanta Select, salutes this fine young man that others should strive to emulate.
Coach Z.
