PAGMETER CENTRAL SECTION ALL STAR BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM
SPECIAL AWARDS

PAGMETER TEAM OF THE YEAR

IMMANUEL EAGLES

The Eagles are the Division 3 Champions and that’s good for a 6-peat. It seem like every year the Eagles start out slow and then the Eagles get hot at playoff time. The Eagles finish the year at 26-9 and the Northern Division 4 State Champions

PAGMETER PLAYER OF THE YEAR

COLE ANDERSON, Sophomore, Clovis West Golden Eagles
The future is bright for one of the best pure shooters in the country. Cole averaged 21 PPG for the Central Section Champions! Scored 699 points on the year and for his 2-year career, Cole has now scored 1,203 points. Cole was named the TRAC MVP and 1st Team All State as a sophomore. Cole was chosen to attend the Top 100 Camp at the University of Virginia! It’s a camp for the 100 best players in the country. WOW!!! Could Cole be leaving Clovis West? Stay tuned

PAGMETER SMALL SCHOOL PLAYER OF THE YEAR

EDWARD TURNER, Senior, Foothill Trojans
Edward “Squid” Turner had one heck of a 4 year career for the Trojans. Turner was the team leader in helping the Trojans win the Division 4 section Championship and the Division 5 State Champions. Turner averaged 17.5 points and almost 10 rebounds along with 5 blocked shots per game

PAGMETER COACH OF THE YEAR

VANCE WALBERG, Clovis West Golden Eagles
When the season started, the Golden Eagles had one returning player and that was sophomore Cole Anderson. That means Coach Vance had his work cut out. The key question for the Golden Eagles players every year… will they buy into the legend Vance Walberg philosophy? The 2016 and 2017 teams did not buy in and the Golden Eagles fell apart at playoff time. Those teams were mentally weak. This 2018-2019 team bought in early and the Golden Eagles won the Central Section Championship with a pure team concept. The Golden Eagles were also the TRAC champs (9-1) and finished the year with a 30-4 record

PAGMETER OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR

MAKANI WHITESIDE, Senior, Liberty Madera Hawks
When Makani Whiteside showed up from a national power Taft in Woodland Hills, the Hawks became an instant contender. Makani led the Central Section in scoring averaging 29.3 PPG. The Hawks won the division 5 section championship and their 1st Section Championship in school history. In the championship game at Selland Arena, Whiteside scored 38 points and the Hawks beat Firebaugh 65-46. Finished the year at 28-5. Next stop will be USTA (University of Texas San Antonio)

PAGMETER DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR

GRANT HIGHSTREET, Senior, Central Valley Christian Cavaliers

Grant was named as a Division 4 All-State selection, and he repeated as Central Sequoia Defensive Player of the Year. Highstreet was also one heck of a football player for the division 4 section champion Cavaliers. He was 1st team All-CSL selection 3 times, as well as a 2-time All-League selection in football. Next stop for the 6’5 star will be playing basketball for the Fresno Pacific University Sunbirds
