Fairhope guard Spencer Sims shines in junior season

FAIRHOPE, Ala. (WALA) - Junior guard Spencer Sims out of Fairhope has been putting on a show this season.

There are less nerves with Sims on the court. He set Fairhope’s single-game scoring record back in December when the pirates took down baker 72-68 and put up a hefty 46 points.

The 6-foot-1-inch Sims is ranked as the No. 2 point guard in the state and the sixth-ranked overall prospect in Alabama for his class, by Prep Hoops.

It’s been a special season for the young man and college coaches have started to take note. Sims has had interest from a number of schools such as Troy, South Alabama, Air Force, Ole Miss, Belmont, Tennessee State and Cornell just to name a few.

He is the one to keep an eye on.

The Pirates are sitting at 21-1 after a 61-26 road win over the Foley Lions tonight and they are gearing up for a home game against rival Daphne on Tuesday.
