SALT LAKE CITY – The Westminster College men's basketball team has signed Blake Skidmore to a Frontier Conference letter of intent, head coach Adam Hiatt announced today.  He becomes the third player to sign with Westminster during this offseason and will have two years of eligibility.

Skidmore comes to Westminster after playing at Big Bend Community College. The 6-foot guard from Mud Lake, Idaho attended West Jefferson High School.

"Blake is a high-end recruit for our program,” Hiatt commented. “He is a prolific scorer and an outstanding student. He will make our team better from the moment he steps on the court with us. I expect Blake to make a significant imprint on our program over his final two years."

Skidmore averaged 24.2 points per game last season and scored over 30 points in seven games and reached 40 points on three occasions. He was named co-MVP of the Eastern Region and was first team All-Tournament after setting a NWAACC Tournament record by scoring 31 points per game in the four games he played. In high school, Skidmore averaged 30 points per game as a senior and was the Idaho 2A Player of the year.

"Westminster has established itself as being one of the best programs in the region at all levels,” Skidmore said. “I feel like it's a great fit for me and my family and I can't wait to join the team and start working with the players and coaches.”
