Thanks to Poly High boys' basketball coach Sharrief Metoyer for this note:
When pitcher James McDonald Jr. made his Major League debut for the Dodgers Wednesday in Pittsburgh, he became the third member of the 2002 Poly CIF Southern Section championship basketball team to play on a major professional level of sports.
He joined Bobby Jones (who has played for several NBA clubs after starting for four seasons at the University of Washington) and Marcedes Lewis (a tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who starred at UCLA).
McDonald's father is an assistant for Metoyer who starred in basketball at Poly and USC before playing tight end in the NFL.
