More Girls BB State Players of Year
While Aquira DeCosta from Stockton St. Mary’s completed a four-year career that is comparable to some previous Ms. Basketball honorees, she didn’t get quite that high after her senior year.

Mr. Basketball 2018: It’s The Big O
State’s top honor goes to Onyeka Okongwu, a multi-dimensional center from Chino Hills whose skill level, defensive ability, team-first attitude and approach made him second-to-none in California this season. A D1 state crown helps the junior big man edge senior James Akinjo of Richmond Salesian.

For the second straight year, Vista Murrieta can claim the State Boys Athlete of the Year. It’s another member of the Broncos’ track team who gets the nod, but this time sprinter Javelin Guidry also happened to have been one of the top football defensive backs in Southern California last fall as well.
