AJ Reed signs with UPike

Mason County senior AJ Reed signed today to play basketball at the University of Pikeville. 

Reed led the Lady Royals in scoring, steals, assists and three-pointers last season while playing point guard. She was named Second Team All-10th Region.

"Considering the talent in our region, with many talented players, that's quite an accomplishment," Mason County coach Brad Cox said.

Reed's dad, Adam Reed, played basketball at Pikeville.

"It's unique opportunity that we have to bring a student-athlete in who's a legacy at the University of Pikeville," UPike coach Clifton Williams said.

Williams said it was special for UPike and special for the Reed family.

"We are going to push AJ to be the best she can be on and off the court, and that's what its all about, and she's going to walk away with a degree," Williams said.
