Former Chatham Charter basketball standout Jonah Ridgill earns athlete of the week honors for the week of July 15.
Ridgill played in the East-West All-Star Basketball Game last week, pouring in 14 points and three rebounds in 17 minutes for the West All-Stars. In a 108-92 winning effort over the East, Ridgill made his impact mostly in transition as he ran the floor for open layups throughout the game.
The 6-foot-5 forward averaged 19.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game as a senior at Chatham Charter last season, and he was named the Central Tar Heel 1A conference Player of the Year. Ridgill will continue his basketball career at Guilford College where he will major in business administration.
