Keyshawn had a great season for the Division 2 district and regional champs this season.  He was the team's leading scorer and crossed the 1,000 career point plateau in Sexton's 54-47 victory over CAAC White champion Portland back in January.

And he had "The Moment" in this year's state tournament.  As he hit a shot from beyond half-court at the buzzer to give the J-Dubbs a thrilling 73-71 victory over Chelsea in the regional finals at Charlotte HS.  Keyshawn score 35 points in that contest.

Keyshawn is an excellent student, carrying a 3.4 grade point average.  He says he would like to play basketball in college, and already has several Division 1 offers before he even plays his senior season next year.
