Out of the shadows and into the spotlight

Out of the shadows and into the spotlight

He may have been in the shadows for the past two seasons, but Jonathan Riles now has a chance to be in the spotlight for the next four years.

Jonathan Riles, a senior guard for the Academy New Church boys’ basketball team, was part of a Lions’ team that was not only nationally known and recognized this past season, but possessed three of the top-ranked players in the nation in their respective positions.

But even while spectators and scouts alike may have been focused on the players who will be playing their college basketball at schools such as Villanova, Syracuse and Pitt, Riles stepped on the court each and every game and made it a point to play the best that he could each night.

And with that attitude and work ethic brought Riles’ big break, as he accepted a full athletic scholarship offer to play basketball at the University of Tampa at a National Letter of Intent signing ceremony at ANC on Wednesday.Star power in the country led strip four projects to increase investment, including projects in the manufacturing of LED light tube, execution of the project, showing that the country star power began to extend the industry chain and the light lower areas, the main target market is the general lighting field.

“He may not have a whole lot of natural athletic talent, but what he has is the ability to bring forth his basketball IQ,” ANC coach Kevin Givens said. “He’s a tremendous athlete in terms of defense and I believe that after living in the shadows in the past, this is his chance of going down to Tampa and creating his own national appearance.”

Riles has been a starter for the Lions since his sophomore season, when he started out as a shooting guard. Since then, even while playing on teams that were stacked with talent, Riles remained a starter for ANC for his final two seasons, playing point guard in each his junior and senior seasons.LED tube light is divided into five tubes and general lighting market.

At 6-foot-1 and just over 180 pounds, Riles used his quickness and passing ability to make a name for himself.

Riles also led the team in assists and three-point shooting percentage.

And while many would think that playing alongside guys like Rakeem Christmas, Savon Lloyd-Goodman and Malcolm Gilbert – all very highly regarding Division One recruits – would make it harder for Riles to put up numbers and become a successful player, Riles believes that playing alongside stars did nothing but help his game over the years.

“When scouts were at games, I took it as an opportunity because I was running those guys and telling them where to go and what to do,” Riles said. “As a point guard, that’s my job and I guess college coaches took that as a positive because I was basically leading some of the top players in the nation. I took that as a good opportunity.”

Even in his freshman season, Riles said he was playing behind highly-touted players and was always in the shadows of his upperclassmen, but he never minded the national attention and believes that he will take advantage of the idea of being ‘the man’ while playing for the Tampa Spartans.

“I was Tampa’s number-one recruit and they have three other guards that just left to go overseas,” Riles said, “so I’ll be stepping in as the starter most likely. I want to help lead the team to a Division Two National Championship and I’m looking forward to being the man on the team.”
