| HIST | PREP FOOTBALL Gators’ Singletons happy to be in Touchstone Bowl Posted Saturday, December 12, 2015 6:00 am BY DENNIS BRUNSON When Lakewood High School suffered a 40-3 loss to Crestwood on Oct. 30, that closed out its football season, and seemingly the playing careers of Terry Singleton and Ralph Singleton. The Gator seniors had not been selected to either the Shrine Bowl or the Touchstone Energy Bowl North-South All-Star Game. “I thought it was over,” Terry said. Ralph was a bit more positive. “I was hoping I would get a chance,” he said. And both Ralph and Terry — who are not related — got that opportunity to play one final game at the high school level. They were both added to the roster of the South squad in the Touchstone Energy Bowl last week. They’ve been in Myrtle Beach all week practicing for today’s game which begins at 12:30 p.m. at Doug Shaw Memorial Stadium. Terry, who played running back, quarterback and wide receiver for the Gators, found out early last week he was going to get to play in the game. Ralph, an offensive and defensive lineman, didn’t get the invitation until last Saturday. It didn’t come until then because it had to be seen who would play in this weekend’s state championship games that were pushed back a week because of the historic flooding in early October. “I was shocked,” Terry said. “It’s an honor to be here.” “I got a call from (Lakewood head) Coach (Brian) jackson last Saturday,” Ralph said. “He told me to pack my bags because I was going to Myrtle Beach.” Terry rushed for 1,025 yards and 10 touchdowns on 122 carries for the Gators, who were just 1-9 on the season. He had seven catches for 153 yards and returned five kickoffs for 218 yards. He has been practicing as a slot receiver all week, and he expects to see a good bit of action come his way. “We’ve been throwing the football a lot during practice,” Terry said. “We should be throwing it a lot.” Ralph, who is 6-feet-4-inches tall and weighs 245 pounds, started on both sides of the ball for Lakewood, but he’s been working at offensive tackle this week. He graded out at 80 percent and had 24 knockdown blocks on offense and had 42 tackles, including 21 solo stops on defense. He had five tackles for loss and two QB sacks. Both players hope a good performance today will draw more interest from colleges. Ralph had offers from Presbyterian and North Greenville before going to Myrtle Beach. He hasn’t picked up any more offers, but Coastal Carolina, Charlotte, Furman, Campbell and Hutchinson Community College in Kansas have talked to him. Terry has no offers on the table as of yet, but he has been hearing from South Carolina State, The Citadel and Guilford. Ralph said the week of all-star practice gives the players a taste of what is to come at the next level. “It really shows us what college is going to be like,” he said. “We’re playing against other great players and that just let’s us know what it’s going to be like.” [1] | |
