Men's Basketball has 3.28 GPA
The SBCC men's basketball team has been named a finalist for the State Team Scholar
award for 2012 spring sports by the California Community College Athletic Association.
The Vaqueros have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.28. Two players have GPAs
of 4.0, six are at 3.75 or higher and 13 of the 18 student-athletes have a GPA of
3.0 or better.
"That's an exceptional accomplishment to have that many guys who are performing at
such a high academic level," said head coach Morris Hodges. "People need to remember
these are student-athletes. There'a big time commitment for basketball and they also
have to manage their academics. That speaks volume about their level of commitment."
