Athlete of the week: Reid Albright

Chatham Central’s Reid Albright earns athlete of the week honors for the week of Nov. 18.

Albright, a senior guard for Chatham Central’s boys’ basketball team, scored a career-high 40 points in the Bears’ season-opening win over South Davidson Thursday. He shot at a 63% clip while shooting 50% from three (six three-pointers made). Albright also poured in nine rebounds, five assists and seven steals in the victory.

Last season, Albright was one of the best scorers in the 1A classification, and he’s already off to a hot start. He looks to lead the Bears to another successful season after finishing second in the Mid-Carolina 1A/2A conference last year.
