For those that knew Rod Scott, they remember him saying he wanted to do something great. They say he truly lived up to that dream. The Robert E. Lee basketball player passed away from injuries sustained in a car accident on Interstate 65 North in Chilton County. He and two other passengers were not wearing a seatbelt in the backseat.
Classmates say it was always special seeing Rod on the hard court.
“He would go and make the whole crowd just explode and then the threes that he would shoot from long range-something like Curry but in high school,” Micaiah Johnson.
“It was good to see a kid like him bring a school like Lee back on top,” says Holloway.
Scott is remembered as a very respectable student in the halls of Lee High School.
“He was the kind of the kid that didn’t know a stranger. That’s why you know-everybody that’s here you got people that really didn’t know him but just know of him,” says Rahmel Howard.
Scott was scheduled to graduate Lee High School on May 22nd.
