Lions’ Dingle commits to Alabama A&M

AUGUSTA, Georgia  --  Another player who led his team to a state championship made news recently. For this story we shift from golf to basketball. Augusta Christian product Jordan Dingle has made his college decision. Dingle had a special senior campaign for the Lions after transferring in from South Aiken.

The 6-2 point guard led ACS to the SCISA state title and was named The Augusta Chronicle Private School Player of the Year. He also was Co-Player of the Year in Columbia County. Dingle was the steady floor general for the Lions all year and paced the team in scoring at 15 points per game.

He also dished out more than four assists per contest. Dingle’s strong performance afforded him several college opportunities. In the end, he chose to head to Huntsville, Ala., having committed to play at Alabama A&M. Alabama A&M is coming off a 14-16 season, finishing 10-8 in the SWAC (Southwestern Athletic Conference). Dingle is part of a strong recruiting class that includes a pair of big JUCO transfers in seven-footer Isaiah Cotton and 6-8 power forward Quinterian McConico. More good news for Dingle is that he should have a chance to play big minutes right away. He is currently the only scholarship point guard on A&M’s roster for 2014-15.
