Kid looks like a hell of a shot-- Do we even have an engineering program?

HEADLINE: INGRAM SELECTS AU;
SPRINGERS' STAR PASSED ON W&M

BYLINE: Arthur Utley,

BODY:
Highland Springs guard Andre Ingram has made his decision.

The taller half of the Springers' high-scoring backcourt duo will continue his basketball career on the collegiate level next year at American University.

Ingram, 6-3, chose American University, a member of the Patriot League and coached by Jeff Jones, over William and Mary.

"At William and Mary, there was too much uncertainty because of the coaching situation," Ingram said. "When I weighed the pros and cons for both schools, American was a better fit."

A four-year member of the Springers' varsity, Ingram capped his high school years with a Virginia High School League state Group AAA championship in March.

Ingram averaged 27.2 points as junior and was named the Capital District player of the year and was first-team all-Central Region and All-Metro and second-team all-state.

This season, he averaged 22.8 points and 9.5 rebounds and shot 49 percent from 3-point range. He repeated as district player of the year and as a member of the all-region and All-Metro first teams. He was selected first-team all-state and player of the year by the Virginia High School Basketball Coaches Association.

American was 16-14 this past season and finished runner-up to Holy Cross in the regular season and the conference tournament final.

Ingram joins another high-scoring guard, Linas Lekavicius of Blue Ridge, in the Eagles' recruiting class. The two were teammates in the Commonwealth Classic all-star game.

An excellent student, Ingram plans to pursue an engineering curriculum.

Let's get this kid playing basketball. As far as engineering programs go, we can buy him a couple of sets of Lego blocks and he can play with them. he'll get his engineering degree all right!
