Magnolia senior Mark Winters has decided to continue his basketball and academics pursuits at Wheeling Jesuit University, where he will major in sports management.

Winters earned first team all-state basketball and was the Blue Eagle all-time scoring leader with 2,024 points. He became only the 19th high school basketball player in West Virginia to score more than 2,000 points in a career.

This 6’6′ forward led the state with a 29 points per game average, while pulling down an average of 12 rebounds a game.

During the season, Winters helped guide the Eagles to 21 wins in 25 games and to an OVAC Class-3A crown. For his efforts, Winters was selected as captain of the first team in state Class-A, OVAC Big School, and All Valley team, who played in a pair of all-star games that included an MVP award and won the men’s dunking contest championship.

Winters, who holds a 3.75 GPA, is in the Science National Honor Society and is a member of the St. Vincent dePaul Church. He belongs to the area Young Life group and is a Peer Tutor at Magnolia.
