Mark Sherrill from the Johnson C. Smith men's basketball team spent time with the Whitewater Academy's Leader in Me Boys Group as an effort to provide service to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. The Golden Bulls spent time speaking with kids on what it takes to get to the college level.
Whitewater Academy first opened its doors in 2008 and has experienced great success over its first two years.

We thank the JCSU men's basketball team so much for working with the Leader In Me Boys Group,” said Whitewater counselor Cynthia Johnson. “It really meant a lot to our students and we look forward to working with Johnson C. Smith and the team again. The players that accompanied Coach Sherrill were great with the boys.”
