Joe Ortiz
Calvary Chapel, Sophomore
Basketball/Guard
As a freshman, Ortiz was primarily a shooter; this year he has been going to the basket more with good results. For instance, with the Eagles trailing Whittier Christian by one and time running out last Tuesday, the Eagles cleared the left side of the floor, Ortiz beat his man and made a layup with six seconds left in a 74-73 victory. Ortiz scored 24 points in the game and 23 in a 69-57 victory over Brethren Christian.
