AUGUSTA, Ga. – Keshun Sherrill, one of the all-time basketball greats at West Rowan, was inducted into the Augusta Sports Hall of Fame in ceremonies held on Friday.
Sherrill, a 5-foot-9 guard, had his number retired by Augusta. He was the leading scorer, not only in Augusta University hoops history, but in Peach Belt Conference history with 2,333 points.
Sherrill was honored as Augusta’s Male Athlete of the Year in 2017.
Sherrill was named All-America by the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the Division II Conference Commissioners Association and played in the 2017 Reese’s Division 2 College All-Star Game. He was Southeast Region Player of the Year as a senior.
Sherrill played for head coach Mike Gurley at West Rowan and graduated in 2012. He was all-county four years and all-conference three years. He was West’s Male Athlete of the Year for the 2011-12 school year.
Sherrill, 31, is the son of Keith and Rhonda Sherrill. His brothers, KJ Sherrill and Jamel Carpenter, were also stars for the Falcons.
Sherrill has played pro ball overseas since graduating from Augusta. He finished his most recent season in Turkey in March.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A red carpet premiere was held for a documentary examining homelessness, poverty and economic hardship.
The premiere for the documentary “Season of Drought” took place at the First Presbyterian Church on Telfair Street on Saturday.
The film includes experiences from people facing economic hardship in America, including in Augusta.
Attendees included Nomi Stanton from GAP Ministries and Jackson Drumgoole of Bridge Builder Communities.
Lia Barnes, a boom operator on the production, said working on the film was a great experience.
“My major at Augusta University is digital and visual storytelling so this is perfect for my field of work,” Barnes said. “I was more of an assistant boom operator. I helped but everyone on the set taught me a lot about what it means to be on a set, not just what it means to be a sound operator on set but everything else that has to do with it.”
The event also included an awards presentation and networking reception.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Volunteers came together Saturday to help clean up an Augusta neighborhood.
The cleanup took place on Wheeless Road and Dorn Road.
Jeremiah Atkinson started the event as a way to clean up trash dumped in the area and help the community.
He said they had at least 30 bags picked up as of Saturday morning.
“My message is if you see one piece of trash, pick it up and help Augusta clean it up because I feel like that would be more efficient, just pick up one piece of trash a day, just one to help out the community,” Atkinson said.
Organizers also provided snacks for volunteers.
