Whether it was one of his patented buzzer-beating shots, his in-your-face style of offensive play or floor leadership, Zeke Clark put together a senior season many players dream of.

The Elizabethton guard was rewarded for his improvement and rise in the hardwood game as a prep upperclassman with an opportunity to play at the next level, signing with veteran coach Bill Carlyle and Walters State Community College Tuesday afternoon at Treadway Gymnasium.

“It means a lot that I get to continue my basketball career,” said Clark. “As a little kid, this is what every kid dreams of — getting to the next level. I’ve put myself in an opportunity to do better things even beyond this and it feels good.”
