ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Kearns Trotter

Southwestern Randolph, basketball / tennis


Kearns Trotter made his mark on the courts for Southwestern Randolph, both in basketball and tennis.

He wrapped up his career with the Cougars on a couple of teams with winning records. Those squads were Piedmont Athletic Conference regular-season runners-up.

Trotter, a guard, made regular contributions for the boys’ basketball team. Among those was 11 points in a home upset of eventual Class 1-A state finalist Eastern Randolph.

Trotter wasn’t done after the winter. In boys’ tennis, he was named to the All-PAC team in each of the past two seasons.

*During the summer, we recognize seniors from the past school year.
