Milligan College, Tenn. (June 30, 2009) --- Hancock County High School's Theo Collingsworth signed his letter of intent earlier this week to attend Milligan College and play basketball for the Buffs.

As a senior, Collingsworth was named to the All-District squad, All-Region squad and was the team's MVP. He was also named by the Citizens Tribune to the All-Lakeway Area Team. 

“Theo has a very high basketball IQ and is a great passer,” commented Head Coach Bill Robinson. “We are extremely pleased to have Theo come to Milligan this fall, and we are excited to see what he will develop into over the next four years.”

Theo is the son of Teddy and Joy Collingsworth and intends to major in secondary education while at Milligan this fall.
