Add another honor the the growing resume of Chino Hills basketball standout Lonzo Ball.
MaxPreps has named the 6-foot-6 guard who is headed to UCLA its Male High School Athlete of the Year. That’s not basketball player of the year, yes he claimed that title earlier. This one is Athlete of Year, like for all sports.
Everyone knows by know Ball propelled the Huskies to a 35-0 record that included league, section, regional and state championships, topped off by national championships from seven of eight polls.
Ball was the lone senior on that team and averaged a triple-double with 23.9 points, 11.5 assists and 11.3 rebounds per game – numbers pretty much unheard of at the high school level.
Earlier this season he was named National Player of the Year by MaxPreps, USA Today, Naismith and Morgan Wooten. He also earned three state Player of the Year awards.
