Congratulations!

Congratulations to SSCC’s Ty Harris on signing for a full-ride athletic scholarship at Columbus State University!
SSCC Men’s Basketball Coach Travis McAvene stated: "Ty has worked very hard to earn a full-ride athletic scholarship to Columbus State University. He has put this men’s basketball program on the map and proved he is one of the best players in school history. Ty led the country in assists per game from start to finish this past season, which is a great accomplishment. We were able to finish the season 25–3 because of Ty’s leadership and refuse to lose attitude. He is signing with a very good NCAA Division II program in Columbus State. They play in the one of the toughest NCAA Division II conferences in the country (Peach Belt Conference). I have no doubt Ty will be leader on and off the floor for the next two years at Columbus State. Ty is a winner and I expect him to achieve nothing but success at the next level."

Congratulations to Shelby Smith on her eight strikeout no-hitter against Clark State!
