With about a month remaining in Central Section basketball, here are The Bee Player of the Year favorites. And, remember, this excludes Kern County.
Washington High's Deontay Greenberry, a national-class receiver in large part because of his jumping ability, made a leap early Wednesday that sent shock waves across the country.
All of the best senior high school baseball players around -- recent professional draft picks Seth Moranda and Chris Mariscal included -- accepted the invitation to participate in the City/County All-Star game.
Deontay Greenberry of Washington High set state single-season receiving records for yards (2,165) and touchdowns (33) scoring at least once in every game while becoming only the fourth Central Section representative in 121 years to be named Mr. Football State Player of the Year by Cal-Hi Sports.
