Dominguez High Player, Coach Get Times’ Awards

Dominguez High School swept The Times’ South Coast player-of-the-year and coach-of-the-year awards Tuesday night in the Harry Chandler Auditorium at the Times Mirror Building in downtown Los Angeles.

The top player, Curtis Williams, a 6-5, 180-pound senior forward, averaged 14.8 points and 8 rebounds a game. He averaged 19.8 points in the playoffs.

The top coach, Ernie Carr, used his concept of team play to guide the Dons (23-5) to the 4-A finals, where they lost to Glendale.

In the Southeast area, Kevin Kurz of Schurr (28 points a game) was named Player of the Year and Charlie LaCommare, who took lightly regarded Bell Gardens to the playoffs, was named Coach of the Year.
