He joins the freshman class of Mike Fekete (New Albany, Ohio/Heritage Academy), Alex Luxenburg (River Vale, N.J./Pascack Valley H.S.) and Davis Miller (Tampa, Fla./Tampa Preparatory School), who all signed national letters-of-intent with the Phoenix this spring.

The 6-1, 210-pound Roberts led coach Mike Williams’ Rockingham County squad to a conference crown and a regional title on its way to a seventh-place finish in the NCHSAA 3A state tournament this spring.

The four-time all-conference selection and three-time MVP claimed regional medalist honors and tied for 13th place in state tournament action in 2006. He is the son of David Buttry and Ronda Mackey.
