Everyone knows Campbell Hall’s Holiday is Mr. Basketball

After earning Gatorade national player of the year honors a couple weeks ago, did you really think anyone other than Campbell Hall‘s Jrue Holiday would be named Mr. Basketball by Rivals and CalHiSports.com?

Well, if you actually believed someone other than the UCLA-bound guard was in the running for his honor, you must have been living in some sort of twisted, alternate reality. Holiday is definitely one of the top players in the nation, and after leading the Vikings to another state Division IV title and showing off in front of the ESPN cameras at the McDonald’s All-American game, no one deserves these awards more.

Hmm ... I wonder who The Times will pick as the Southland’s top boys’ basketball player? Be sure to check out Varsity Times in Wednesday’s sports section.

Also, congratulations to Campbell Hall Coach Terry Kelly, who was named CalHiSports.com’s Division IV coach of the year.
