Register among the best

Anthony Register, a Lakeside High 2001 graduate and Lithonia resident, is a 2005 All-Conference player at Stetson University in DeLand, Fla.

Register led his team in points, and ranked second in the league with a 16.1 points per game scoring average. He also led the team with 38 three-point field goals, averaged 3.8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Register scored in double figures in 26 games, including all 20 Atlantic Sun games and the last 21 games in a row. A 22-point performance in Stetson's 56-52 win over the University of Georgia last December tabbed him as the Atlantic Sun Player of the Week. It is Register's first all-conference selection, and his second time as a second-team selection. He has also been chosen to represent Stetson at the NCAA leadership conference held in Atlanta.

Register is attending Stetson University on an athletic scholarship, and has made the honor roll every year. His mother, Kathy, lives in Lithonia and his father, Willie, lives in Decatur.
