On Tuesday afternoon, LeMar Northington II officially signed his letter of intent to play basketball for Kentucky Christian University.

Northington II explained how he has envisioned this day for a long time and that it was very special to him.

Northington II says he is grateful to his coaches and teammates for driving him to the success they feel he was meant to have.

Head Coach Charlie Pack says he believes Northington II is a special player due to his impact on and off the court.

In this past season, Northington II averaged 16.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg, and shot 42.7% from the 3-point line for the Blazers, but coach Pack sees LeMar as a player that can contribute to the team in more ways than just scoring.

This past season Kentucky Christian finished with a 5-24 record and 8-game losing streak, so work is there to be done, but Northington II, Coach Pack, and the rest of the Knights squad will look to flip the page this fall.
