Menchville grad signs hoops scholarship at West Virginia State

MENCHVILLE, Virginia  --   Jordan McMillian, a 2012 graduate of Menchville who spent the past season at Mount Zion Prep in Baltimore, has signed with West Virginia State University of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC)**.

McMillian averaged 10.8 points a game as a senior for the Monarchs and was a part of two Peninsula District tournament championship teams. He said his only offer coming out of Menchville  was from a junior college in Alabama.

“I took an SAT  prep class, and helped my score (increase) by 50 to 100 points,” McMillian said. “So I went from 900-something to 1,000-something. And I got a lot more exposure to colleges.

“I like the pace West Virginia State  plays.  They get up and down the court and score a lot of  points. I like to score a  lot of points, so that works for me.”

McMillian (6-foot-4, 195 pounds) was recruited by the Yellow Jackets as a shooting guard.  West Virginia State went 10-19 last season.
