Nova Scotian high school hoops star commits to UPEI Panthers
Lorenzo Parker, of the Horton High School Griffins, has committed to attend the University of Prince Edward Island in the fall of 2012. The 6'3' guard has been an all-star or MVP in every tournament that his team has entered this season, and he has scored 40 or more points in several games this year. Parker will be rejoining Coach Tim Kendrick with the Panthers, after having had him as a high school coach for two years in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.
Parker is excited to join the UPEI Panthers next year, 'I'm looking forward to being reunited with Coach Kendrick at UPEI, and competing for the chance to win some AUS and CIS championships.'
'We are thrilled to have Lorenzo joining us. He is a very good player with tremendous potential. We certainly had him rated as one of the top high school players in the Maritimes...if not the top,' said UPEI Head Coach, Tim Kendrick. 'As good a player as he is, he is an even finer young man. He will make a great Panther!'
The UPEI Panthers are currently in first place in the 2011/2012 AUS rankings, and the Horton Griffins hold first place in Nova Scotia's West Region league, as well as in the Mainland Athletic Conference in Nova Scotia.
