Pannell will lead the program into its third year in 2011-12. Tate’s town Chiefs’ standout elects to keep talent close to home BY BRANDON MICHEA sports@ledgernews.com Coming off what proved to be one of the most impressive seasons in the state, Sean Tate’s future was unknown. While top athletes from all sports were preparing to or already had signed college scholarships, grades left the Sequoyah High School standout wondering what route he was going to have to take to the next level. “I didn’t take care of business in the classroom my first couple of years of high school,” admitted Tate. “I didn’t do my homework and I didn’t study at all. But I’ve done a lot of growing up since then. I realized if I didn’t take care of things in school, I wasn’t going to have basketball.” Thought to be prep-school bound only a few months ago, Tate’s improved efforts in the classroom complemented the improvements in his game and have the 2010-11 Cherokee Ledger-News Boys’ Basketball Player of the Year headed to a college campus after he recently signed with Chattahoochee Tech, a junior college based in Marietta. “I definitely got my eight hours of sleep that night after making my choice,” said the 17-year-old Tate of the relief following his decision. “I was unsure of my future, but I feel like junior college is the better route for me over prep school. The level of competition will definitely be better because I’m going to be playing against grown men, and not just other guys my age.” “I’m happy for Sean,” Sequoyah coach Jeremy Adams said. “The biggest thing high school coaches have over AAU or any other coach is that we get to be with these kids on a day-to-day basis and help see them through the things that matter most. “I said all season long that I felt like he was the best point guard in the state, and I guess other coaches felt the same way since they voted him all-state. But he also had to take care of things in the classroom, and he worked hard to do that. He matured not only as a player but as a person, and I’m BASKETBALL ■ COLLEGE LACROSSE ■ really proud of what he’s done.” Tate selected the second-year program over interest from other junior college programs such as Wallace State (Ala.), Gordon College, Piedmont College and Middle Georgia. “Staying close to my family had a lot to do with my decision, but so did staying close to my trainer who lives in Marietta,” said Tate, referring to Mark Edwards, who runs the Vanguard Basketball Academy. “Being at Chattahoochee will allow me to continue to be able to work with Mark and that’s going to be to my advantage. Working with him is what has gotten me here, so I wanted to stay close.” Following a junior season in which he averaged 9.6 points, 5.2 assists and .9 rebounds per game and shot 70.5 percent from the free throw line, the 5-foot-6 Tate sought the services of Edwards in hopes of improving his game – a decision that paid big dividends this winter. “When he first came to us, I think he was kind of intimidated by the workouts,” Edwards recalled. “He actually quit the workouts after a few weeks, but we got him Pannell takes over helm at Reinhardt FROM STAFF REPORTS Reinhardt University’s search for a new mens’ lacrosse coach ended last week, as RU named Drew Pannell as head coach. Bringing a long history of both playing and coaching the sport to the helm, Pannell replaces former Eagles’ coach Binz Hansen, who resigned in April after compiling a 3-20 mark in the program’s first two seasons of play in the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association and Southeastern Lacrosse Conference. “We are proud to have Coach Pannell on board to continue the growth of our 2-year-old men’s lacrosse program,” Reinhardt athletic director Bill Popp said. “He inherits a team of young but experienced players who are looking for his direction to take the next step in competitiveness. “Coach Pannell offers many years of experience as well as a wealth of contacts in the world of lacrosse. We are fortunate that he was available and able to begin right away as recruiting will be his No. 1 priority as we approach the fall semester.” Pannell’s long history of lacrosse began when he picked up the sport as a 6-year-old growing up in New York. As a teenager, he helped lead Manhasset (N.Y.) PHOTO BY SCOTT MARTIN Sequoyah High graduate Sean Tate, the 2010-11 Cherokee Ledger-News Boys’ Basketball Player of the Year, recently announced his decision to sign with Chattahoochee Tech. Tate, who was a Class AAAA First Team All-State selection following a senior campaign in which he averaged more than 23 points and five assists a game while leading the Chiefs to a 29-1 mark, chose the Marietta-based junior college over a handful of other JUCO programs. back out there, stayed positive, kept pushing him and worked on utilizing the God-given skills that he had. “There were people that questioned how well he could shoot because of his size and the way he shot from his chest. But it wasn’t a situation where we felt like he needed to change his form. We just worked on making him a better shooter with the way he shoots, and he’s turned out to be one of the best shooters I’ve ever coached.” “We just continued to challenge him and his game started to get better and he started to feel more comfortable in his game.” That level of comfort led to astounding improvements in his performance, as Tate went on to average 23.4 points, 4.1 assists and 2.7 rebounds a game and shot 275-for-342 (80.4%) from the free throw line his senior season, helping Sequoyah to a 29-1 record and a top-50 national ranking.

Working on his short game on his home course at Towne Lake Hills, the former Etowah High School standout and current Georgia Tech freshman was not going to waste any time before preparing for his next event – the second of five events in five weeks. “I was pretty tired so I just went out and rolled in some putts for a couple of hours,” said Albertson, who shot a 5-under 274 to finish fourth at the 71st Annual Monroe Invitational Championship SEE HELM, PAGE 16 Albertson in Pittsford, N.Y., June 15-18. “I’ll get back out there on (June 20) to work some more, then leave on (June 21) for the Greystone Invitational (June 23-26) in Alabama. “You have to get out there and go through a process in practicing that allows you to cover all aspects of your game and prepare for the next event. Right now, I have to make sure I feel as confident in my putting as I do everything else.” Entering the final day of the Monroe in third place and just two strokes off the lead – following a 2under second round and a 3-under third round – Albertson had a tough day with his putter on Saturday to card an Even 70 and finish four shots behind both Albin Choi, of North Carolina State, and Chase Wright, of Indiana University. “I was hitting the ball well,” he said. “On that course, you have to hit the ball pretty straight because the rough is thick and it’s a guessing SEE GAME, PAGE 15
