Making most of a shortened high school career

Posted Dec 12, 2006

It was early fall when Quan Sturdivant saw he could graduate early. So, he let his basketball and baseball coaches at West Stanly High know he wouldn't be playing his senior season. They were disappointed, he said, but they told him it was in his best interest. Sturdivant, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound three-sport standout who has committed to North Carolina, is ranked by scout.com as the eighth-best recruit in North Carolina regardless of position.
