The Georgia College & State University men’s basketball program and head coach Terry Sellers announced the signing of Andrew Whittaker on Tuesday.
Whittaker, a 6-foot-8 center, comes to Georgia College from the Westminster School in Augusta, Ga. where he played for head coach Mark Tebbs.
Whittaker averaged 13.4 points and 9.2 rebounds per contest leading his team to a 24-6 record. Westminster, a GISA school, won both the 2008 Region IV Regular Season and Tournament Championships. He earned All-State honors as well as a selection to the All-Region IV Team.
“Andrew has the potential to develop into a solid low post player in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC),” said Sellers. “We believe his best basketball is ahead of him.”
The Bobcats are fresh off a 20-9 season in 2007-08 and are looking to build upon that success with a roster losing just a trio of seniors. Senior center Aaron Clark (2005-08) and junior guard Shaun Keaton (Albany, Ga.) picked up All-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) honors for the squad. The 20-win season was just the eighth in school history, five of which have come under Sellers’ guidance.
