VALLEY / VENTURA ROUNDUP : Basketball

Jeff Young, 25, a former player and assistant coach at Cal Lutheran, has been named head basketball coach at Chaminade High. Young, who also served as junior varsity coach at Cal Lutheran, replaces Rob Kurowski.

Andre Chevalier and Michelle Esparza of Cal State Northridge were selected to All-Independent basketball teams in nationwide voting of college sports information directors.

Chevalier, a 6-foot senior who is Northridge’s career scoring, assists and steals leader, placed third in the voting behind Tony Dumas, a 6-foot-6 swingman from Missouri-Kansas City, and 6-8 forward Monty Williams of Notre Dame.

Sean Allen, a 6-8 center from Southern Utah, and Fred Smith, a 6-5 swingman from Oral Roberts, were also selected.

Esparza, a 5-10 sophomore, shared the final spot on the five-person women’s team with Amanda Whitney, a 6-0 center from Florida Atlantic.

Also on the team were Cheri Shurtliff and Myndee Larsen of Southern Utah and Kristy Ryan and Sarah Stapp of Cal State Sacramento.

Campbell Hall’s Alex Lopez was selected to the All-Southern Section Division X team. Lopez, a 6-foot-10 senior, averaged 18.4 points a game and led the Vikings to a Division V-AA championship.

Campbell Hall’s Simeon Woodall, who averaged 15.4 points, and Montclair Prep’s Reed Berglund, who averaged 17.5 points, were named to the second team.

Fund-raising efforts for John Flowers, a former Northridge basketball recruit, have gone professional.

The Clippers are sponsoring a free-throw shooting event at halftime of their game Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. Ten shooters each will attempt five free throws with proceeds from each shot made going to a fund to help defray medical costs.

Flowers lost both legs as the result of injuries sustained in a car accident in August, 1992, only a few days before he was scheduled to leave his family’s home in Glendale, Ariz., and begin attending classes at Northridge.

A free-throw fund-raiser at halftime of a Northridge basketball game last March raised more than $15,000.
