Highland Community College Athletic Hall of Fame
Inducted August 23, 1997
Scottie fans will attest to the fact that Harold Jeter from Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, was the most electrifying basketball player to wear a Scottie uniform in 1963 through 1965. Remembered as "Tony," he led the Scotties in scoring on a 20-6 team in 1963-1964 and a 21-1 team in 1964-1965. The 1964-1965 team won the Interstate Conference Championship and was a semi finalist in the NJCAA Region VI tournament. Tony was recognized as an NJCAA Honorable Mention All-American his first year and NJCAA All-American during his second season. Tony's basketball skill and athletic ability enabled him to work the basketball outside or inside, letting him score 40 and 45 points respectively in the Scottie Classic Tournament.
Tony continued his education at Drake University where he lettered on the 1965-1966 team and again was the leading scorer with 274 points. In 25 games at Drake he hit 41% of his field goals and 65% of his free throws, and he averaged 10.9 points per game with a single game high of 24 points.
Scottie fans, athletes, and coaches thank Tony for his excitement, enthusiasm, and enrichment to the basketball tradition at Highland Community College.
