BOYS

MIKE BAYER

Mater Dei

Sr.

6-7

F/C

Bayer, a true forward, was a stalwart at center for most of the season until the return of Jamal Sampson midway though the playoffs. Bayer averaged 14.1 points and 8.6 rebounds and will likely play power forward when he attends Manhattan College.

KYLE DODD

Brea Olinda

Sr.

6-0

Guard

A quick player who could also reach well above the rim, he was a strong rebounder for a guard, although he liked to pass the most. He averaged 9.2 assists to go along with his team-high 17.9 points. He made 51.3% of his field goal tries.

TONY DOW

Ocean View

Sr.

6-0

Guard

When Dow had the ball in his hands, things happened. A two-time all-county choice, he averaged 5.8 assists a game and was twice named to nonleague all-tournament teams. “He was the most explosive, unselfish player in Orange County,” Coach Jim Harris said.

SPENCER GLOGER

Santa Margarita

Sr.

6-4

Guard

A reserve last season on Santa Margarita’s state championship team, the natural swingman stepped into a starting role with authority, averaging 23.2 points, and shooting 53.3% from the field. Could go outside when he had to, making 45.3% of his three-point shots.

HERBERT GRACIA

Loara

Sr.

5-10

Guard

Led Loara to back-to-back Empire League titles and a school record 24 victories this season. Averaged 17.3 points, 4.8 assists and 2.3 rebounds and was the MVP of the Empire League. His 114 steals set a school record and he shot 77.7% from the free-throw line and 50% from the field.

ANDREW PLEICK

Los Alamitos

Sr.

6-4.

Guard

A native of Sweden, he brought a European-flair to the county. The Sunset League’s most valuable player could post up, but was adept at shooting off the dribble, or spotting up for the three-point shot. Averaged 15.3 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists.

ADAM RACHLIN

Pacifica

Sr.

5-10

Guard

A second-team selection a year ago, he averaged 15.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists. Coach Bob Becker called him “the heart and soul of our team.” He led the Mariners to the best regular-season record in the county and most overall victories (27) in school history.

STEVE SCOGGIN

Mater Dei

Jr.

6-1

Guard

Tough and quick, he led the Monarchs in scoring (14.3 points) and was a floor leader throughout in leading the Monarchs to a Southern Section Division I-A title and into the state Division I title game. Shot 74.7% from the line and made 42.3% of three-point attempts.

MIKE STOWELL

Capistrano Valley

Sr.

6-5

Guard

Among a group of big-name Cougar players, Stowell stood out for his constant work ethic and consistency. He averaged 16.6 points, 3.8 assists and shot 51.4% from the field. Has offers from Pepperdine and Utah State, but will likely take a two-year Mormon mission, he said.

MARQUI WORTHY

Sonora

Sr.

6-3

Forward

A pure scorer, Worthy was a flashy swingman who could hit shots from all over the court. Led Sonora to its seventh league title under Coach Mike Murphy, who praised Worthy for his explosiveness. Averaged 18 points and nine rebounds and shot 53.4% from the field.
