RB Quatez Fuller Heading to Catawba

R-S Central running back Quatez Fuller officially committed to the Tribe football program shortly before his high school career came to a close.

To say that Fuller was a three-sport standout is an understatement.

Football, basketball, and track were sports that Fuller excelled in during his tenure at R-S Central. At 6'1 195 pounds, his future looks bright in the backfield as a ball carrier.

As a senior for the 7-5 Hilltoppers, Fuller earned all-county honors and was given the team's annual Heartbeat Award.

His rushing statistics were 62 carries for 296 yards and four touchdowns, a 4.7 yard average. Fuller also caught 16 passes out of the backfield for 376 yards and four scores.

On defense, Fuller contributed 36 tackles and three interceptions in the R-S Central secondary.

In the winter, he was also a big-time scorer for the Hilltopper's hoops team, averaging nearly 13 points a night. He was named to the 2008 Southernwestern All-Conference team during his final year, while also being named to the 2008 MLK All-Tournament team.

Fuller's defining moment on the hardwood occurred during their win over West Henderson where he stole an inbounds pass with only five seconds remaining.

He proceeded to untie the 63-63 score with his last second layup, giving the R-S Central the 65-63 win. Fuller had a game-high 22 points.

Perhaps his most successful athletic achievements occurred in track and field.

He was named the Southwestern Conference Field Performer of the Year, Rutherford County MVP, R-S Central team MVP, Times-News Invitational Field MVP, and Eddie Reneau Invitational Field MVP.

Fuller also finished 5th in North Carolina at the high jump event 6'4 high jump.
