The Santa Rosa Junior College Men's Basketball The Santa Rosa Junior College Men’s Basketball Bear Cubs just completed one of their most successful seasons ever. The Bear Cubs finished the season with an overall record of 27-6, repeated as Big 8 Conference Champions with a 13-1 record and won their own Kris Kringle Classic Tournament for the fifth time in the last 6 years.  In the post season, the Bear Cubs advanced to the Elite 8 of the state playoffs for the third straight year, and finished the regular season as the second best team in the state according to the RPI index. In addition to the team’s success, several individual players had remarkable seasons as well. Sophomore Shooting Guard Bobby Sharp led the way statistically by averaging 17 points per game (ppg) while shooting 44 percent from 3 point range, 87 percent from the line and averaging less than one turnover per game. Bobby was named Big 8 Conference Player of the Year, and was a First Team All-State. Bobby recently accepted a scholarship offer to play for the University of Portland in the West Coast Conference. Sophomore Point Guard Max Fujii had a stellar season as well. Max scored 12 ppg, shot 43 percent from 3 point range, 88 percent from the line and averaged less than one turnover per game. Fujii received several all-tournament selections and was named First Team All-Big 8 Conference. The Fujii/Sharp backcourt was one of the most efficient and best shooting in the state. Sophomore Forwards Connor Gillett and Xavier McCall had outstanding seasons as well. Gillett averaged almost a double/double in league play at 10.1 ppg and 9.4 rebounds per game (rpg). He was the team’s most versatile defensive player and was able to shut down opponents in the post as well as on the perimeter. Gillett had a phenomenal game against Yuba in the championship of the Kris Kringle Tournament while scoring 17 points and 18 rebounds on his way to a tournament MVP. He received First Team All-Big 8 Conference honors. Xavier McCall became a fan favorite with his electrifying dunks and open court plays, averaging 11 ppg and was the team’s top defensive stopper. “X” received Honorable Mention All-Big 8 Conference, and All Tournament in the Kris Kringle. Even with the success of the Bear Cubs’ sophomores, the cupboard isn’t bare for next season. Several freshmen had great seasons as well and appear to be ready to accept even larger roles next season. Jajuan Hammond had a really good season averaging 10 ppg and 4 rpg while being a solid ball handler and defender. Hammond was named as Honorable Mention All-Big 8 Conference. Alec Kobre came on averaging over 10 ppg for the final third of the season and shot 43 percent from 3 point range. Brian Johnson was a versatile defensive player, tough on the boards and showed signs of becoming a scorer throughout the year (4 ppg, 5 rpg), while Post Players Luke Cocheran and Darin Grayer rebounded and defended well and both appear ready to pick up some of the scoring load next season.

"The statistic that most satisfies our entire coaching staff is that over 90 percent of our sophomores have graduated."
