William Wiebking

Hargrave hosts its 2012 ‘Meet the Tigers’ on Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. in the Academy’s Walter Davis Gymnasium. The event focuses on the history, current players and continued success of the Academy’s Post-Graduate (PG) basketball team. It is also a time to watch some great basketball.

Two different opportunities will be presented during the event. They include:

Black and Orange Inter-squad Scrimmage. A inter-squad scrimmage featuring the 2012-2013 Hargrave PG Basketball team is scheduled. The team will perform in a game that headlines the best rising student-athlete basketball talent in the country. The 2012-2013 team includes four players ranked in the Top 100 in the country. They are: Cadet Anton Gill of Raleigh, North Carolina (committed to Louisville); Cadet Terry Rozier of Cleveland, Ohio (committed to Louisville); Cadet Greg McClinton of Winston-Salem, North Carolina (committed to Wake Forest); Cadet Donte Clark of Charlotte, North Carolina (offers from Virginia Tech, Miami, FL, Oklahoma St and Memphis). All 15 team members will participate.

Retirement Ceremony. Hargrave will hold a special ceremony for Joe Alexander, formerly of the Chicago Bulls. Alexander is a member of Hargrave’s 2004-2005 PG Basketball team and Hargrave Class of 2005 PG graduate.

“We want to continue to bring back the tradition of our program at Hargrave,” said Head PG Coach A.W. Hamilton. “Joe is not only a great basketball player but more importantly is a phenomenal person and this will be a great way to kick off to our 2012-2013 season.”

Hargrave PG Basketball program has racked up many great accomplishments at the prep level, however none more impressive than being named program of the decade by RealGM Basketball this past summer.

The public is welcomed. Admission is $5.00 for Adults and $3.00 for children.
