II Sac-Joaquin Section finals three years in a row, and Fairfield combined for a 77-22 overall record and a 38-2 league mark over that three-year span…was the team captain as a senior and became the first men’s basketball player in Fairfield High School history to sign a Div. I scholarship following his senior season… as a junior, he averaged 13.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game while helping lead the team to a 28-6 overall record and a 15-0 league mark.
