Vienna Student Signs with SCC

Corey Huckelberry signed a letter of intent to play for the Shawnee Saints on Saturday, May 14, 2005. Corey was a key component on a Vienna Eagles team that won the regional for the 1st time since 1976.

Corey averaged 15 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assist per game. He helped lead his team to a 19 -15 record this past season. Corey has posted career highs of 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assist.

"He is a hard working player who is very athletic. He thrives in the open court which is a perfect fit for the Saints," Vienna Head Coach Rick Metcalf said. "He helped lead us to 19 wins and our first Regional Title since 1976. I think he will be a great addition to the Saints because of his winning attitude."

"I've known Corey for several years, he's hung around our program and I'm glad he chose to stay close to home to be a Shawnee Saint," SCC Coach John Sparks said. "He's a great person who absolutely loves basketball. It was an easy decision for me when it came time to offer Corey a scholarship. He's a basketball fanatic; he breathes, sleeps, and eats basketball. I believe Corey has a bright future because he has a passion for this game. We are glad to have him here at Shawnee Community College."
