Posted on by

ENG United Raptors family would like to congratulate 2023 sharpshooter AUSTIN WILKERSON of Unity Christian School (Rome, GA) on joining the 1000 Points Club over the winter 2021-22 season.

The big moment came on January 28th versus region opponent Shiloh Hills Christian School in Kennesaw, GA, where Austin can be seen (video below) dribbling through multiple defenders on a fast break for a quick pull up three pointer.

Wilkerson, who compiled a team-leading 586 points over the course of his junior season at UCS, had 16 games where he scored 20+ points, which included 7 games of 25 or more. Austin also set a season and career scoring record of 43 points in a game versus Pepperrell High School (Lindale, GA).

This 2022 travel basketball season, Austin Wilkerson will showcase his high level scoring talents to college coaches as a member of the ENG United Raptors 17U (2023) team, under the direction of head coach Burbee Heard and program director Shaine Freeman.

As Coach Shaine puts it, "Austin is a high academic student-athlete who has placed himself in a position to continue his basketball career at the collegiate level after high school. We are very excited to have such an exemplary young man joining us this 2022 grassroots season."
