Phillip Reed, a 6-foot-9 junior center, is transferring from South Mecklenburg to Northside Christian. Reed, who grew from a 6-1 to 6-9 in two years, averaged four points and five rebounds for the Sabres last season.
"Anytime you lose someone 6-9 it's a big loss," South Mecklenburg coach John Fitch said. "He's a great kid and we wish him well. I hope it works out for him. He's going to a good program and I hope he'll do well over there."
With Reed and fellow 6-9 junior Malcom Mathews, the Sabres had one of the area's tallest front lines. South Meck finished the season 23-6, losing to eventual state championship finalist West Charlotte in a third round playoff game.
Northside Christian won the N.C. Independent Schools 2A state championship last season under coach Byron Dinkins, a former Charlotte 49ers star.

And he will be a junior there next year too.
Basketball star? 4 points and 5 rebounds...pretty generous with the heading....
Good Luck with the transition Phil.. South Meck will miss you. Become a star and you can look back at the critics and laugh when u sign with your school of choice.
He will not be reclassing. He will be a rising senior at Northside next year. He will have coaches that can fine tune him and get him ready for college. He currently has a number of D1 schools looking at him. We wish him the best of luck!
