| Following is a recent note sent by a proud parent of one of Nino's students |
Hi Nino,
We wanted to share the good news about Marcus Benitez. He made
it official this past Monday by signing with Truett McConnell College. This is
the article and pictures. We wanted to thank you for all your encouragements. I
felt that you started Marcus on the quest to realize that he has the potential
to go to the next level of being a college player.
With sincere
thanks,
Paul, May and Marcus Benitez |

| The
Truett-McConnell College Bears announce their first signing of the
year with Chamblee Charter School three-year starter Marcus Benitez. Marcus is a
6'6 All-State Honorable Mention Player in 3-AAA GHSA. Marcus averaged 14
points per game, shot 63% from the field, 47% from the 3-point
arc, 73% from the free throw line and averaged 3 rebounds per
game. He also averaged 2 steals per game and was once awarded the
Atlanta Tip-off Club's Player of the Month. Marcus led Chamblee to a 19-9 record
and a berth to the state playoffs. |

| "Marcus is a good fit for the Bears. His ability to score, defend, rebound and play multiple positions will benefit our team tremendously. Even with all that he brings to the team I believe his best basketball years are ahead of him and that's exciting!" Coach Baldwin said of signing Marcus |
