1990-91 TIMES ALL-COUNTY TEAM : BOYS

Share

ERIC MEEK

Senior/San Pasqual

Meek, a three-time All-County selection, had the best season of his storied career this year. He had career-best averages in points (30.0), rebounds (14.3), blocks (3.0) and field-goal percentage (64%).

In San Pasqual’s Division II finals victory over El Camino, the 6-foot-10 center scored 33 points and 14 rebounds, including 14 points in the fourth quarter.

“Every shot he made was under pressure,” San Pasqual Coach Tom Buck said.

JEFF REEVES

Senior/El Camino

Playing the last month of the season with a bad back, Reeves, a 6-foot-2 guard, still averaged 19.8 points and made 94 three-pointers on 45% shooting.

“He gave us the ability to have an inside-outside game,” Coach Ray Johnson said.

Like McCoy and Scurry, Johnson said, Reeves came of age in last year’s section and southern regional playoffs. This year, in one of El Camino’s biggest victories, he scored 33 in the Wildcats’ victory over co-Avocado League champ Ramona.

ERIC BARAJAS

Senior/USDHS

A 6-foot-1 guard who was the City Western League player of the year, Barajas led surprising USDHS (20-5) with a 21-point scoring average.

Don Coach Jim Tomey: “He was our leader on the floor. He was our point guard, but we depended on him for rebounding. And when we needed the big points, he delivered the goods. Nobody in the county can penetrate the key better than him. If he was playing with a big center, he would have racked up some bigger numbers.”

ALFONSO DE LA NUEZ

Senior/Ramona

De La Nuez transformed himself from just a shooter into an all-around player. In addition to averaging 23.4 points per game--seventh in the county--he averaged eight assists, four rebounds and three steals per game. He also led the Bulldogs to their first section championship.

“He just keep getting better,” Ramona Coach Al Schaffer said.

The 6-foot-2 guard made 66 three-pointers with 43% accuracy.

MATT DE LA PENA

Senior/San Dieguito

San Dieguito’s all-time leading scorer (1,402 points) can’t be accused of dogging it. His team won two games while he was ill and did not shoot because he played tough defense and had over 10 assists.

The 6-foot guard made 43.4% of his shots and averaged 20.1 points per game. He finished his career among the top five for total three-point baskets (167). He holds the school record for career assists (287). He also averaged 5.4 assists per game.

HEATH McCOY

Senior/El Camino

Although he’s virtually unknown outside of the North County, his coach, Ray Johnson, said there’s not a better point guard in the county. “I don’t think there’s any doubt he’s the best,” Johnson said. “If people didn’t here of him before, they have now. . . . He has the ability to create. He does things people don’t see around here.”

McCoy, who averaged 16.6 points, 8.5 assists, four rebounds and 2.8 steals, has only played two years of organized basketball.

CHRIS MILLER

Junior/Fallbrook

The 6-foot-3 guard/forward was one of the most dangerous players in the county and a big reason Fallbrook reached the Division I semifinals. Strong and quick, he averaged 22 points per game, nine rebounds and four assists.

A three-year starter, he still has a year to add to his school record for career points. Miller shot 34% from the three-point line (16 of 47), 52% from two-point range (235 of 452) and 83% from the foul line (126 of 152).

DARRYL PARKER

Senior/Rancho Buena Vista

RBV reached the Division I championship game, and the 6-foot-6 forward is a big reason. He averaged 24 points per game for the second year in a row and averaged 11.8 rebounds.

He was the player to watch in the Palomar League. Parker possessed the quickness to handle smaller opponents and the size to deal with taller ones. He signed a national letter of intent before the season to attend Cal State Long Beach. He also made The Times’ All-County team as a junior.

BERRY RANDLE

Junior/Lincoln

Coach Ron Loneski says the 6-foot-4 forward is one of the most fundamentally sound players has coached at Lincoln, and several great ones have gone through the southeast San Diego school. Randle averaged 22.2 points (ninth in the county) and 14.2 rebounds per game, against one of the county’s toughest schedules.

“He almost plays like he’s too nice of a kid--and that’s the way he is without a basketball,” Loneski said. “He’s just a nice person.”

SHAUN SCURRY

Senior/El Camino

A three-year starter for El Camino, Scurry added a couple new low post moves to his outside game. “We asked a little more of him this year,” El Camino Coach Ray Johnson said.

The 6-foot-5 center averaged a career-high 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Wildcats. Although he was outsized by most of the post players in the Avocado League, Scurry, who will attend Division II power Central Missouri State, did more than hold his own against them.
