Coach’s Corner --

“Alexis is as solid a guard as there is. He is a great dribble-pass-shoot guy and is going to be an excellent defender. He can guard at least two, possibly three, spots on the perimeter and will give us great fl exibility. He comes from a great program and is a winner in every way, on and off the court. Alexis is an outstanding student who will be an ideal Trojan.”
