By Brian Powe
FOR THE CHARLOTTE POST
SALISBURY - Ryan Mattox,
the heralded hoopster from West
Rowan High School, was recent
ly voted as the player of the year
by Yadkin Valley 2A Basketball
ofBcials.
Mattox, who led the Falcons to
their first 2A state champi
onship in over a decade, was
regarded as one of Rowan
County’s best players last sea
son.
In the championship game, the
6 foot, 3 inch Senior posted nine
points and six rebounds in West
Rowan’s 79-67 victory over
WaUace-Rose HiU at the Dean
Smith Center in Chapel Hill.
The power forward averaged
12 points a game during the
1997 campaign, scoring nearly
400 points in 29 games.
Mattox is contemplating
whether to attend Winston-
Salem State, Chowan Jrmior
CoUege, or Northland Pioneer
Junior College in Holbrook, Ariz.
for collegiate basketball.
West coach Bob Shipwash said
that Mattox is deserving of his
honors and achievements.
“He’s been to everything that
we’ve had in the past three
years. Even if he has been sick,
he came and sat on the sidelines.
He’s really dedicated to the
game and has worked to make
himself better.”
Falcons sophomore guard
Bryson Goodlett joined Mattox
on the 2A Yadkin Valley team.
Other Rowan County athletes
making this year’s all-star team
include: North Rowan’s J.R.
Black, and Salisbury High’s
