Johnson's Mortimer, Muhammad select colleges --SCSU and SSU

SAVANNAH, Georgia  --  Johnson High graduate Greg Mortimer had some specific goals in mind before his final season of basketball as an Atom Smasher, and he checked them off his list one by one in a season that culminated in a Class AAA state championship.

Today Mortimer will achieve another objective when he signs to play Division I basketball at South Carolina State University.

Mortimer, a 6-foot-3 guard, joins teammates Tim Quarterman (LSU) and Saadiq Muhammad (Savannah State), who also signed with Division I programs.

“I’ve been playing since I was 5 years old, so this is a great feeling to be able to play at the next level,” said Mortimer, who averaged 10.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game last season.
