Lions' recruiting class grows with signing of Ripley's Lee

The Freed-Hardeman Lions added a fourth player to their 2010-11 recruiting class with the recent signing of Quintin Lee of Ripley, Tenn.

Lee, a 5-foot-11 point guard, prepped at Ripley HS for Coach Ralph Turner where he posted an outstanding senior season, averaging 20.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game on his way to being named District 13-AA MVP. He was also named all-district tournament and all-region and played in the Golden Circle All-Star Game.

He was also an all-district selection following his junior season and played AAU with the Midstate Ballerz in the summer.

"Quintin is a true point guard with a great feel for making those he plays with better," said FHU head coach Jason Shelton. "His 3-point shooting ability allows him to be able to break down the defense off the dribble. His high school coaches, Coach [Blaine] Mahaffey and especially this last year with Coach Turner, have prepared him to be a contributor right away at the college level."

Lee joins Vincent Dotson (Charlotte, Tenn./Creek Wood HS), Ben Meis (Memphis, Tenn./FCA Nighthawks) and Michael Tomlin (Jackson, Tenn./North Side HS) in the Lions' recruiting class.

Quintin is the son of Curtis and Wanda Lee.
