Tony Frazier of Peoria Richwoods signs with Lynx

[May 27, 2010]  Tony Frazier, a forward at Peoria Richwoods, has signed with Lincoln College. He  helped his team to a 30-3 record and a second-place finish in the Class 3 IHSA state tournament earlier this year.

He averaged 10.3 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, while receiving Associated Press 3A honorable mention, IBCA 3A-4A honorable mention and special mention all-Mid-State 6. He was an all-area selection by the Peoria Journal Star, which said that he has the most raw talent of any player in the area.

Frazier will join the Lincoln College squad that finished last season 30-6 and won the NJCAA national championship. The Lynx have three starters coming back next year.

"Tony is an explosive leaper who will add depth to our front line," said Lynx head coach Kirk Whiteman. "In order for Tony to reach his fullest potential, we look forward to him developing his perimeter game, which he will have the opportunity to do in our system. Lincoln College is a great choice for Tony to continue his college career and get a great education."
