The Freed-Hardeman Lion basketball team kicked off its 2010-11 signing class by addressing a need from last season with the signing of Vincent Dotson of Charlotte, Tenn.
Dotson, a 6-foot-5 forward, prepped at Creek Wood HS where he was one of the state's premier shot blockers, averaging 6.2 blocks per game in his senior season. He also averaged 9.1 points and 9.9 rebounds per game on his way to all-district honors.
He holds the school record for blocks in a season (167) and blocks in a career (312). His defensive presence helped lead the RedHawks to a 24-3 record during his senior season as the team achieved its first-ever state ranking, peaking at No. 7 in the TSWA Class AA poll.
"We are excited that Vincent has chosen to be part of our program," said FHU head coach Jason Shelton. "He is gifted with the ability to block shots without fouling, which is not something many people have. He also uses his length well on the glass. He played in a good system under Coach Taylor and will be well-prepared to compete at the next level."
Vincent is the son of Martha Dotson.
