Cheraw’s Reagan Freeman Named “NETC” Female Student Athlete Of the Month



Cheraw—Reagan Freeman is a junior honor student at Cheraw High School, where she batted nearly .500 as a sophomore on the softball team, before suffering a season ending elbow injury.

Very early in her junior season Freeman is batting .400 and she is completely recovered from the injury she sustained as a sophomore. She is also a very good defensive first baseman and rarely makes an error in the field. She was also a member of the volleyball team at Cheraw this past season.

In the class room this honor student carries a 4.56 GPA, and to date she has benefitted from taking six online dual credit courses from the “NETC”, based in her home town of Cheraw.

For all her athletic and academic accomplishments, Freeman has been chosen the “NETC Female Student Athlete of the Month.”

This honor is bestowed through a partnership between the Northeastern Technical College and “The High School Sports Report” with the publication communicating with athletic directors at high schools in the counties of Dillon, Marlboro, and Chesterfield, where NETC serves the needs of high school students seeking to earn dual credits in various subjects that can be transferred to colleges after a student’s high school graduation.

The ”NETC” is currently offering over 44 online dual credit courses for the 2024-25 school year to students in the three counties they serve.

Freeman is currently taking Growth & Human Development along with Computer Programing as online dual credit courses offered by the “NETC.” As a sophomore she took dual credit online courses in Psychology 101, Sociology 101, Spanish 101 and Introduction to Criminal Justice offered by the “NETC.”

“I enjoy taking online dual credit courses through the NETC because they are local, and my grades with the online courses helped improve my GPA for academic scholarships I am applying for,” said Freeman. “Taking online courses also teaches me the importance of time management and gives me an idea for what I will be preparing for, once I get to college.

“The main difference in taking courses in a class room setting, versus online, is that you feel like in the class room setting your teacher seems to always be pushing you to learn as if you are up against a deadline,’ said Freeman. “With online courses it is much more self-paced, and you can work around your schedule to complete the courses you are taking online.”

Freeman hopes to become an athletic trainer once she completes her college education. At the present time her top three college choices are Coastal Carolina, the University of North Carolina or Clemson.

In travel softball, she played third base for the “Hot Shot’s” but she enjoys playing first base on her high school team.

“My goals in softball are to help the team win, and I would like to improve my batting average and also make all-region,” said Freeman. “I enjoy playing softball at Cheraw High because my head coach Kevin Thurman is the best coach I have every played for, and he cares about his players.”
