Congratulations to Jordan White from Grace Christian Academy. In their recent game against King’s Christian Academy from St. Mary’s County, the 6-foot-5 junior guard scored his 1,000th career point.

The 1,000-point mark became reality when White caught an alley-oop pass from teammate Erik Perry with 4 minutes 59 seconds remaining in the second quarter and dunked the basketball to give his team a 19-12 lead.

Let us celebrate and highlight two outstanding Southern Maryland athletes.

First up is Trey Lee (@Trey_Lee2). Lee is a senior at Thomas Stone and was a force of nature on the football field. He played quarterback and safety and led his Cougars to a very successful season. Lee is morphing from a Cougar to a Tiger as he just committed to play football at Towson University.

Shawn Lemon (@SLemonator) graduated from Westlake in 2005. While at Westlake, broke the single-season Southern Maryland Athletic Conference record with 21 sacks. He also competed in basketball and track and field and was an honor-roll student. He played football at The University of Akron and then went on to play with the Calgary Stampeders (CFL).

Lemon, a DE, just signed to play for my favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. http://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/nfl-pittsburgh-steelers-news/2015/1/21/7863191/steelers-sign-shawn-lemon-contract-cfl

Congratulations, gentlemen.
