Beaufort Academy Varsity Basketball
Chip Dinkins, the Beaufort Academy varsity basketball coach of 10 years, and his staff Joe Matheny, Chris Conefry and Scott Huebel have intentions of bringing the 2011-2012 Beaufort Academy Varsity Boys Basketball team to the SCISA AA playoffs. After two solid years of rebuilding, the team looks competitive on the floor this season. Led by SCISA All Region 1-AA guard Preston Suber, the Eagles will be “quick and deep” this year. Six seniors return including Mr. Everything, Jack Griffith. Point guard duties will be split between juniors Connor Akers and Charles Sanford. Seniors Michael Bible, Jordan Littleford and Billy Dailey should hold down the post. The team will rely on quick, aggressive defense to create transition opportunities. Rebounding will be a key to the overall success. Junior Finn Koppernaes and the return of Senior Nathan Cheung should round out the rotation adding depth and scoring. The overall goal of this group is a return to the SCISA AA playoffs after a two-year absence. Next home game at Beaufort Academy is December 8, against Charleston Collegiate. Go Eagles!
