Boys’ basketball: Los Altos guard Jarod Lucas is gearing up for sophomore season
Los Altos standout averaged 26.4 points as a freshman
It’s hard to find too many things not to like about 6-foot-3 sophomore guard Jarod Lucas of Los Altos. He averaged 26.4 points as a freshman playing for a 24-4 team that was coached by his father, Jeff.
But this season, Lucas wants to show he has the athleticism to hang with top veteran guards. With all five starters back and key reserves, Los Altos intends to upgrade its schedule, and that will be the challenge facing Lucas and his teammates.
Lucas is working on coming off screens to free him from double teams.
He said last season “was a great experience” even though he had some early worries about fitting in as a freshman.
He has taken more of a leadership role and believes the team’s experience should be important in getting off to a strong start.
