Ryan Westendorf

School: St. Margaret’s Sport: Basketball Position: Forward Class: Senior

Westendorf, a versatile 6-foot-7 forward, has occasionally played point guard this season for St. Margaret’s. But make no mistake, his primary role is scoring, and Friday he played his role to the hilt. Westendorf made 26 of 35 shots and scored 58 points--one of the four best single-game scoring performances in Orange County history--and St. Margaret’s defeated St. Michael’s Prep, 104-68. He also had 18 rebounds, four assists and three blocked shots. “He went through a mild two-game slump,” St. Margaret’s Coach Rick Bauer said, referring to games in which Westendorf scored 19 and 16 points. “We’re hoping he’s back and ready to put us on his shoulders for the playoffs.” Last season, Westendorf, who was the Academy League’s player of the year, helped St. Margaret’s to the Small School title game, where it lost to Ribet Academy.
