BERLIN- It hasn’t taken long for former Stephen Decatur High School standout basketball player Keve Aluma to start earning his keep at Wofford College in South Carolina.
Aluma, who was a four-year letter-winner and three-year starter at Decatur, is logging quality minutes at Wofford as a freshman and is gaining more playing time with each passing game. Aluma is averaging nearly 15 minutes at game at Wofford as a freshman and has played in all 12 of the Terriers’ games including two starts.
Aluma saw significant playing time during Wofford’s stunning upset of then-fifth ranked North Carolina. He is averaging around four points a game to go along with nearly four rebounds a game. The former Decatur center was named First Team All-Bayside Conference as a junior and senior at Decatur and led the Seahawks to back-to-back trips to the state Final Four.
