BOYS' BASKETBALL: Crespi's Avery selects Sonoma State

Crespi senior Michael Avery has verbally committed to play basketball at NCAA Division II Sonoma State.

Avery, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound guard, is averaging 10.2 points for the Celts (5-0).

Avery had verbally committed to play at Kentucky in eighth grade. He began his high school career at Crespi, averaging 9.6 points as a freshman, then moved to Monteverde Academy in Florida where he averaged 4.3 points as a sophomore, before returning to play for the Celts this year after Southern Section officials forced him to sit out last season.
