BRANDON BEESON

Woodbridge

Sr.

6-6

Forward

This guy could be a star in the Big West Conference at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he’ll have a chance to emerge from the shadow of the All-American Burgess. Averaged 15 points and seven rebounds on a court he had to share with his better-known classmate.

WES BUNN JR.

Cypress

In one of the lower-profile league races, he kept the defending Empire champions on top. He averaged 16.2 points and 6.9 assists and just seemed to know what to do with the basketball. He was one of the top vote-getters among coaches in balloting for the all-county team.

ISAIAH CAVACO

Villa Park

Sr.

Chenowith drew most of the attention, but without Cavaco, Villa Park would never have reached the Division II-AA title game. He averaged 8.2 assists as point guard. A 78.4% free-throw shooter, he’s off to Yale where he, no doubt, will continue with heads-up basketball.

ERIC CHENOWITH

SEAN WINK

Brea Olinda
