Putnam Science Academy standout Jose Perez, left, has signed a National Letter of Intent to continue his education and play for Gardner Webb University men’s basketball team beginning with the 2018-19 season. Perez is a 6-foot, 5-inch forward from Bronx, N.Y., and just finished his final year of high school at Putnam Science Academy. Perez led the Putnam Science Academy Mustangs (38-4) to their first ever National Prep Championship last month and finished the #1 ranked Prep school team in the country.  “Jose is someone that people are going to love to watch,” said PSA head coach Tom Espinosa, right. “He’s someone who will have a huge impact in all four years of his career at Gardner Webb.” Perez started all 42 games this season and averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game.  Perez scored in double figures 34 out of the 42 games and also was selected as first team all conference.
