Joey Ramirez, Ventura’s freshman guard from Santa Paula High, was named the Western State Conference men’s Player of the Week.

Jackson, a 6-foot-4 freshman center, is averaging 10.6 rebounds to London’s 11.6. Jackson helped his cause with a 21-rebound effort in an 86-82 overtime victory against Cuesta last week. That’s the single-game high for a WSC player this season. . . . Glendale freshman guard Kenny Collins, formerly of Cleveland High, continues to lead WSC free-throw shooters with a 91.7 percentage. Going into Wednesday’s game at Canyons, Collins was 55 of 60 from the line.
