Two nights later, he scored 18 points, with performances of 5-for-7 shooting, 4-for-4 from behind the 3-point arc and 2-for-2 from the foul line, as Miramar advanced to 2-0 in the PCAC Northern Division by beating MiraCosta 73-59.
Three basketball players received honorable mention recognition – Mt. San Jacinto’s Danny Hopkins, Imperial Valley’s Miles Hamilton and Cuyamaca’s Terrence Cole.
Hopkins, a 6-foot-4 sophomore guard from Arlington High School in Riverside, helped lift the state No. 7-ranked Eagles to their sixth win in a row, 64-54 over Palomar, scoring 15 points. He also had 11 points as Mt. San Jac clubbed Rio Hondo 91-59 in a non-conference game.
