Wharton Wildcat graduate Damian Dixon signed with Greensboro College in North Carolina. Damian Dixon was the team MVP and captain of Wharton's 27-2 team last year.
Dixon's ability to get it done in every aspect of the game will be greatly utilized at the next level. He averaged just over 10 points per game and lead the Wildcats in a few other statistical categories.
"I'm just happy the wait is finally over," Dixon said. "I'm ready to move on to the next level."
Owens Getting Ink
Senior Xavier Owens is starting to turn heads all around the county. Last week, the St. Petersburg Times and tampabay.com ran an article entitled "Players on the bring of a breakthrough" and highlighted the X-man's ability on the basketball court.
Owens was the only boys basketball player mentioned in the article about players on the rise in all of the different high school sports:
Xavier Owens, F, Wharton (boys basketball)
A 6-foot-4 rising senior, Owens has been nothing short of dominant this summer. Before helping guide the Wildcats to the finals of the 22-team SEBA summer league tournament, he led all local players with 21 points in a junior-senior state all-star game at Ocala Vanguard. With complementary players such as rangy swingman A.J. Astroth and point guard C.J. McGill, Owens could flourish for a team projected to contend for a state tournament berth.
