Head Coach of the College of Charleston, Bobby Cremins signed Andrew Goudelock, a 6-foot-1, 165-lb. combination shooting and point-guard averaging 25-ppg in the regular season and 42-ppg in the R6-4A Tourney for Stone Mountain (Georgia) High School and leading Dekalb County in scoring, last weekend.
In the Regional 6A-AAAA Tournament at Miller Grove, Goudelock shot lights-out, scoring 12-points, 5 baskets from behind the arc, against St. Pius X, leading the Pirates to a 72-42 victory in the opening round of the Region 6-AAAA Tournament. Although Stone Mountain High lost to Tucker 78-79; Goudelock scored 39-points (then a career-high), in their final game before the region tourney, the Pirates shook off whatever jitters they had and took a No. 3 seed in sub-region A. The Pirates would win both of their regional games in the R6-4A Tourney with Goudelock “the Stone Mountain Sharpshooter” besting every player in the Dekalb County network in the post-season. On February 9th, Goudelock raised the bar on his career-stats, scoring a new career-high of 47-points, in the 92--68 win over Lakeside, but the second round of the Region 6-4A tournament would prove a more modest score for the Pirates and Lakeside rematch; the Pirates won 73-41 and positioned the Pirates to clean-up as they moved forward in the State Tournament. Last Friday, Stone Mountain lost to the defending 2006, 6A-AAAA Champs, the Columbia Eagles 63-67 in the semi-finals of the Tournament. The Pirates did win the 3rd Place game of the Tournament against Mays the following day, winning 70-51.
Goudelock’s scoring in the State Tournament:
February 13th, Stone Mountain against St. Pius X, Pirates won 72-42. Goudelock scored 22-points
February 15th, Stone Mountain against Lakeside, Pirates won 73-41. Goudelock scored 12-points
February 16th, Stone Mountain against Columbia, Pirates lost 63-67. Goudelock scored 17-points
February 17th, Stone Mountain against Mays, Pirates won 70-51. Goudelock scored 23-points
Goudelock is a superb and competitive offensive player. He has quick feet and pulls the trigger on his shots even faster. A special note for those of you unfamiliar with Stone Mountain basketball is that Goudelock is accomplishing all of these accolades on the Court while sharing the hoop with All-Tournament Player Ray Brown and Virginia Tech recruit Terrell Bell. But, this isn’t the T. Bell show; we are talking about Andrew Goudelock and besides, he is a more rounded player than Bell. Look for Andrew to develop more on the defensive side of the ball after coming to the College of Charleston, as Cremins will help transfer the speed Andrew has on offense to defense as well, producing a more balanced and competitive player-possibly moving to the next level after his stint at the College. Andrew’s AAU Team is the Atlanta Celtics. Goudelock chose the College because of Cremins’ system of play. We look forward to seeing Andrew next year to help us fill the void that Dontaye will be leaving behind.

INSIDE SOURCE: Goudelock gets an offer

After a long wait, Stone Mountain guard Andrew Goudelock got a scholarship offer from College of Charleston two weeks ago, and the senior committed to sign with the school last week. College of Charleston's team is coached by Georgia Tech legend Bobby Cremins, and that was no small reason for Goudelock's enthusiasm for accepting the school's offer. "Coach Cre-mins is a top-of-the-line coach," Goudelock said. "It just seemed like a good fit. The style they played with, it's very similar to [Stone Mountain] Coach [William] Johnson."
As far as getting the offer, Goudelock's hot finish to the regular season —- scoring 39 against Tucker, then 47 against Lakeside —- certainly didn't hurt. Cremins was sitting in the top row of the stands during Goudelock's game against Tucker, and everybody for Stone Mountain seemed to know he was there. "During the game, I was trying to focus on the game," Goudelock said. "Every time you look up, you'd see somebody going to talk to him [Cremins]. Or my teammates would look up and say, 'Hey, there's Bobby Cremins.' "
