Siaosi leading Antelope Valley
Hesperia native Florida Siaosi is back on the basketball court -- this time at Antelope Valley College.
The 5-foot-11 center was a multi-sport standout at Sultana, graduating in 2006. She excelled in both track and basketball and had Division I offers in both. She spent her freshman year at Cal State Bakersfield but got homesick and returned to the High Desert after one season.
She sat out the 2007-08 season but was seen working out at Victor Valley College last fall.
Now she is back leading Marauder team that is expected to be in the hunt for a Foothill Conference title. Siaosi is averaging 16.1 points, 11.9 rebounds and 1.8 blocks -- all team highs.
Siaosi has scored in double figures in 14 of 15 games, with a high of 24 points twice. She has reached double figures in rebounds nine times with a high of 23 rebounds against Mt. SAC, 19 of those on the defensive end.
