Michael Pitts+FollowSouth Aiken’s James Platte makes punting historyJames Platte, a South Aiken grad, just landed the FCS Punter of the Year award—talk about putting our town on the map! Platte’s booming kicks for The Citadel flipped the field all season, including a jaw-dropping 72-yarder and a school record 44.0-yard career average. He pinned opponents deep 16 times and helped The Citadel rank No. 2 nationally in net punting. It’s not just about stats, though—his leadership and consistency set the tone for the whole team. What do you think this kind of recognition means for local athletes and our community pride? #Sports #Football #SouthAiken00Share
