Putnam Science Academy has enlisted another student-athlete for the upcoming 2016-2017 school year with the signing of Lance-Amir Paul from the southern New Jersey area.
Paul, who recently completed his sophomore academic year, is a 5-foot, 9-inch and 165-pound point guard.  He’ll enroll as a student with the Class of 2018.  As a varsity competitor since his sophomore year, Paul has put up some solid numbers, averaging 8.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.  He was also responsible for 3.8 rebounds a game and 2.3 steals.
Last school year Paul split the year between Father Judge High School in Philadelphia and Timber Creek High School in Sicklerville, N.J.  At Timber Creek he contributed to the success of the team, which posted a 21-7 record.  The team was a perfect 8-0 in the Olympic-Patriot Division, capturing the team’s initial division championship. 
“Paul is a quality individual who excels in the classroom as well as on the basketball court.  He’ll compete for playing time but we feel confident that his work ethic is definitely a plus,” said coach Tom Espinosa.
In the classroom Paul completed his sophomore year at Father Judge with a 3.4 GPA, helping him attain 2nd Honors. This summer Paul will compete on the AAU circuit with the New Jersey Shoreshots, who are coached by Doug Thompson.
