Wise grad heads from PGCC to Bowie State

BOWIE, Maryland - Prince George’s Community College’s loss is Bowie State University’s gain. After a standout sophomore season at PGCC, David Golladay plans to continue his basketball career this winter at Bowie State, stepping into a quality opportunity to contribute on a guard-oriented team.

The Henry A. Wise High School graduate averaged 15.9 points per game and helped the Owls reach the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III District 7 championship game. PGCC went 22-10 and fell one win short of a berth in the NJCAA Division III national tournament.

Golladay played two years ago at NCAA Division I Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Md., but left the school after a coaching change. At PGCC he was reunited with high school teammate Josiah Woodruff, who was the Owls’ leading scorer (17.6 ppg).

“I felt like I started losing a little of my love for basketball at Mount St. Mary’s,” Golladay said. “Then I went to PGCC and got that love back. I don’t know if it was the coaches or playing with my friends, but I got it back. That’s the biggest thing. If you don’t love something, it’s going to be hard to do it. It was really easy to play this year.”
