Shamus Ferguson
6’9”
Center

Ferguson was an impact player for Francis Liebermann during his senior season averaging 15 points, 7
rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 4 blocks a game. He
helped lead his team to the Metro Semi-Finals in Totonto in 2008 with his dazzling interior play. Shamus
earned team “MVP” honors and was tabbed as the
“Most Improved Player” by his coaching staff. “Ferguson is an athletic big man that can run the floor, finish
in transition, block shots, and has an improving ability
to score in the paint,” commented MAC Head Coach
Corey Tate. “He really fits our system here. We expect
him to continue to improve and be a major factor in the
paint at MAC over the next two seasons.”
