E.J. Abrams-Ward of Thomasville High School was awarded the 2008 Male Athlete of the Year award today by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA).

E.J. Abrams-Ward starred in football, basketball and baseball for Thomasville High School.

In football, E.J. Abrams-Ward was a 6-5, 220-pound star linebacker, but played quarterback because that is where his team, a perennial power, needed him. During the 2007 campaign he rushed for 1,288 yards and scored nine touchdowns while throwing for better than 2,000 yards and 24 scores. He was named to several all-state teams in that sport and played in the Shrine Bowl.

In basketball, E.J. Abrams-Ward averaged 20 points, eight rebounds and two steals a game and wound up with better than one thousand points for his career. He was an all-Northwest selection by the Winston-Salem Journal on a team that got to the regional finals and he was the Lexington Dispatch county Player of the Year.

A pitcher and outfielder who started late due to the length of the basketball season, E.J. is one of the team’s top hitters and had 20 strikeouts in his first 12 innings as a pitcher, winning his first two starts.

E.J. Abrams-Ward will attend the University of Tennessee next year on a football scholarship.

Jannetta Robinson of Pender High School was awarded as the 2008 female Athlete of the Year by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA).

Jannetta Robinson has been a star in three varsity sports for four years and recently added a fourth sport. She has played for five NCHSAA state championships in three different sports and has won two in her career.

Jannetta’s volleyball team had a 96-11 record during her four-year career. She was second on the team in kills and blocks and led her club in digs, earning all-Waccamaw Conference honors in that sport.

Janetta led the Pender basketball team to a 30-2 mark this year and state runner-up finish, averaging 17.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.1 steals and 4.3 assists per game. She was Eastern Regional Most Valuable Player this season and made the Associated Press all-state second team. Her teams posted a 92-26 mark during her four seasons of play.

Softball is perhaps Jannetta’s best sport, as she is the leadoff hitter for the defending state 1-A champions who were 28-2 a year ago. Recently she was batting .545 with an on base percentage of .636. Her teams have posted a 79-12 record in her first three varsity seasons and she was selected as the 1-A Eastern Player of the Year by the North Carolina Fastpitch Softball Association.

And because the team needed her, Janetta Robinson tried track for the first time recently. In her second meet, she won the conference championship in the 200 and was second in the 100 and has qualified for the regionals in three different events. She plans to further her education at Barton College.
