Alabama State University men’s basketball coach Lewis Jackson has announced the addition of six players to the 2012-13 Hornet basketball team headlined by local standout Tony Armstrong from Carver High School, and in-state star Billy Ingram from Sumter Central.

Armstrong averaged 14 points and 12 rebounds for the 6A State Champion Wolverines.  The 6′-5”, 185 pound forward showed his versatility with 21 double-doubles over the course of the season.

“We are excited to get a player like Tony Armstrong into our program,” Jackson said.  “He is coming to us from the 6A State Champions and can do a lot of things.  He is a kid who has played on the highest level of basketball and understands what his role has been on the teams he has played on under Coach James Jackson.  He can score and he can rebound and we are really excited to get someone of his talent because I believe with all of the things he can do, his upside is tremendous.”
