FACES OF NOTE: Keith Jackson, a transfer from Taft. is being touted by basketball coach Jim Brovelli as a scorer in fie Don back court where the team suffered after Rodney Tention suffered a season-ending injury in last season's sixth game.
The Dons are guaranteed to be real competitive since returning starters Anthony Mann, Peter Reitz, and Mike D'Aloisio are not guaranteed to retain their positions. New recruits Joe Seager. Keith Jackson, and Pat Guisti, a transfer from Oregon State, are expected to challenge for starting spots as well as last season's super sub, Mark McCathrion. Rodney Tention returns after rehabilitating a broken elbow, an injury he suffered in last season's sixth game.
Keith Jackson showed the Dons depth at guard when he came in during the last four minutes and led the Don's offense and scored 4 points. It's obvious Jackson, a JC All-American last year, is in Brovelli's plans despite his lack of playing time. "I was happy to see Keith Jackson play well," Brovelli said. "He's struggled coming into the program, but he's adjusting to the new system, and as soon as he is acclimated, he'll be an excellent player (TheFoghorn)."
