In a story written by Steve Hanf, Preps Editor of The High Point Enterprise, stated that “Cameron Scott Wayne, a 17-year-old senior, already had verbally committed to play football on a full scholarship at East Carolina University next year.”

"When he accepted that offer to ECU, one of our assistant coaches made a comment that it was one of the best things that had happened to the Southern Guilford football program in a long time," said Storm head coach Darryl Brown. "For this to happen today is one of the worst things to ever happen to the Southern Guilford football program."

Scotty Wayne, a standout running back, defensive player and kick returner also made a name for himself on the track team as well as boasting a grade point average around 3.5.    (Excerpts re-printed with permission)
