13.0 ppg 6.0 apg 3.4 rpg 3.1 spg 40% from three
Started on JV as a freshman.....was the JV most valuable player despite missing the early part of the season due to injury.....one of the best perimeter shooters on the team.......very skilled in the open court.....a very good passer in transition as well as in the half court......very quick with great food speed.......started all summer long on the varsity team......one of the best young players in the Panther program.....was promoted to the varsity at the conclusion of the JV season last year as a freshman and played and scored in several games.....will continue the Panther tradition of great guards to come through the program - Chuck Ford (college to be determined), Chris Warren (Ole Miss), Ray Willis (Oklahoma), Trey Hopkins (Western Carolina), and Mario Sisinni (Coastal Carolina)........his father Barry Larkin was a 12 time Major League Baseball All-Star shortstop with the Cincinnati Reds.
Coach Long's comments on Shane Larkin......"Shane has the potential to be one of the best guards ever to play at Dr. Phillips and that's a pretty big statement. His skill set is beyond his age. Had it not been for an injury that kept him out of action until January, Shane would have played on the varsity last year as a freshman which is a testament to his abilities. I believe Shane will be the next high level guard to come through DP. He will be a big contributor on the varsity this season and I eagerly await the chance to coach him the next three years."

The only bad thing about this is that fans would have sky high expectations...
"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?
