Lions add Tyner's Gilmore to incoming class

The Freed-Hardeman Lion basketball team picked up another player in its 2010-11 recruiting class with the recent signing of Reginald Gilmore of Chattanooga, Tenn.

Gilmore, a 6-foot-5 forward, prepped at Tyner Academy where he was an all-district, all-region and TSWA All-State selection after averaging 16.7 points and 7.6 rebounds during his senior season under the direction of Coach Gerald Harris. He led the Rams to their first appearance in the state tournament since 1999 and was also named to the Chattanooga Times Free Press "Best of the Preps" team.

"Reggie's work ethic and skill level will allow him to contribute for us right away," said FHU head coach Jason Shelton. "He's a very good rebounder with the ability to play both facing the basket and with his back to the basket. His three years with Coach Harris have prepared him to play at the college level. He comes from a very supportive family and we are excited to have him in our program."

Gilmore joins Vincent Dotson (Charlotte, Tenn./Creek Wood HS), Ben Meis (Memphis, Tenn./FCA Nighthawks), Michael Tomlin (Jackson, Tenn./North Side HS) and Quintin Lee (Ripley, Tenn./Ripley HS) in the Lions' 2010-11 signing class.Reggie is the son of Reginald and Yolanda Gilmore.
