Newberry College in South Carolina will have a distinct Richmond look during the coming basketball season.
Former Richmond Public Schools guards Quaman Burton and Robert Valentine have transferred to Newberry, a member of the NCAA Division II South Atlantic Conference.
Burton was a main cog on John Marshall High School’s State 3A championship team in 2014. He has played the last two seasons at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, a CIAA member.
Last season, Burton averaged 11.4 points and 3.7 assists, while logging 30 minutes per game.
Valentine, one of Armstrong High School’s all-time scorers, played the last two seasons for Virginia Union University.
In 12.7 minutes per game, Valentine averaged 6.3 points while connecting on 43 three-pointers for the Panthers.
