Vitals: Buchanan, senior, guard

Need to know: Maybe the section’s best pure shooter.

The four-year player and leading scorer in Bears history (1,535 career points) was key in upgrading a program that went from being winless in the Tri-River Athletic Conference his freshman season to sharing the league title and making the Central Section Division I final as a senior.

He led the 23-8 team this season in scoring (17.7), rebounds (7.8) and steals (1.9).

He’s going to Sacramento State.

He said it: “He had a phenomenal career for us and has been a huge part of why we have become one of the top programs in the Valley. He is a relentless competitor who was awesome to coach. And I think his best basketball is still ahead of him at Sac State.” — Bears coach Eric Swain.
