News You Need To Know
Two years ago while Rocky Mount was making their run for their second State Championship in three years the point guard on the team was Tabias Hilliard. If you needed a basket Tabias was probably the last option on the floor to shoot the ball when we really needed a big basket.
His specialty was defense and handing off assists to his brother Terrill and his other teammates taking the Gryphons all the way to a state title. There are times when players get offered scholarships
solely because he was part of a great team and yes Methodist University came calling and Tabias became a Monarch.
I knew Tabias was a solid player for the Gryphons but who in their right mind would ever think that our Tabias would be the starting point guard for Methodist in his very first game as a freshman. He had a solid freshman year and his freshman year turned into a sophomore season and what do we have on our hands now? Only an assist dishing scoring machine.
Methodist season ended last weekend and Tabias Hilliard was named third team USA South all conference team. Hilliard averaged 12.6 points per game and he hit 20 in a game four times on the season and three of his last five games.
He dished out 3.8 assist a game lead the team from the outside in shooting per cent age hitting .485. He lead the team in free throw shooting hitting .784 of his free tosses. He also lead the team in steals getting 35 on the season.
Yes his parents can be proud of his athletic skills but conference USA South has put Tabias even on a higher plateau. He was named to the Conference USA South All Sportsmanship team. Conference USA South has a code on conduct in which they honor their best.
What are the requirements to make the All Sportsmanship team? You cheer loudly and proudly for your team, respect your opponent, no use of profanity, vulgarity, racist, or sexist comments. That's not all of the code of Sportsmanship but you get the picture.
All of us as we go forward in life there is a trail we leave and it always leads back to home. What did your parents teach you, what did Rocky Mount High do to your life to help you be the person you are. It is obvious that Tabias Hilliard has had a path to lead him to do the right things. There is an old saying that "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink."
As the Gryphon point guard that gave the ball to his teammates and came up with big steals you could see that Tabias was a team player. Now at the next level of basketball Tabias has made
everyone proud because he continues to live the way he was taught at home. We can all say "I know Tabias Hilliard he's from my Town Rocky Mount." Tabias has been a good will ambassador for the City of Rocky Mount.
Rocky Mount needs more Tabias Hilliards in this world!!!
