The Best of.......This Week

So here it is Friday afternoon of what's becoming a busy season of local sports. It happens every February when baseball starts, basketball winds down, and hockey is still going strong. I'll take a look at some of the best of this week so far....of course we still have plenty to go this weekend.

AJ Green: Is there anything the Summerville junior can't do? He's an All American football player generally considered one of the top recruits in the whole country, but his basketball skills are amazing as well. He dumped 36 on Dutch Fork Wednesday night in the State Quarterfinals with at least 2 big dunks. On the football field he looks like he's effortless so it may seem like he's not that explosive....until you see him play basketball. I think any college football coach will convince his basketball counterpart to let AJ play both sports. At least to get him to school. Green is sticking by his early commitment to Georgia.

Dontaye Draper: All 5 foot 10 inches of him. For my money (which admittedly isn't very much) he's the best Cougar player I've seen since I've been covering the College. Granted, I came in 1998 and missed AJ, Thad, and Stacey Harris. Draper is worth the price of admission every night out. I can't even count how many times he's put the Cougars on his back in the last 4 years. Hopefully someone in the NBA will give him a chance despite his size.

Family Circle Cup: Shaping up to have their best field since the tournament moved to Daniel Island. Serena Williams commits on Thursday so 4 women who have occupied the #1 world ranking will play in April's tournament. Can't wait for that week.....oh and we no longer have to call Justine Henin-Hardenne by that long name. She's getting a divorce so it's just Justine Henin.

Next week SoCon fever hits the lowcountry.....
