ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Christian Long

Randleman, football/boys’ basketball

The seasons changed for Randleman, but Christian Long keeps on producing.

After helping guide the Tigers to a second-place finish in the Piedmont Athletic Conference football standings as the starting quarterback, Long turned his attention to basketball.

In last week’s season-opening 71-54 victory at Lexington, Long racked up 17 points. He made three of four 3-point shots and went 4-for-4 on free throws. He also was charted with a team-high five steals.

Sophomore Tyshaun Goldston, who was on the receiving end of some of Long’s passes during football season, paced the Tigers with 19 points in the basketball game against Lexington.
