Richmond Hill basketball's Jeremiah Hill signs with Savannah State Tigers

RICHMOND HILL, Georgia  --  When he took over the Richmond Hill High boys basketball program last summer, Wildcat coach Bill Henderson knew he had a solid shooter in rising senior Jeremiah Hill, but he wasn’t sure what the slender guard could offer on the other end of the court.

Hill provided a loud and definitive answer to that question this past season, emerging as one of the area’s top offensive threats and becoming one of the Wildcats’ biggest defensive assets down the stretch. Now, he’ll have a chance to continue his career, as he signed a letter of intent with Savannah State University on Thursday.

“I’m really proud of him. He was a kid last year who didn’t play much, and this year he came in and took on this role of leading the team,” Henderson said of Hill. “He’s one of the hardest working kids I’ve ever seen. He’d get done with practice and then want to get some extra shots in. We kind of challenged him to become a better defender, and he became one of, if not the best one, on our team at the end of the year.”
