Wesley Jr. starring for Knights

When Rialto hired Byron Wesley as coach during the off-season it got not only an experienced coach, but his 14-year-old son, Byron Wesley Jr. The 6-foot-4 freshman can play, averaging 11 points and 10 rebounds on varsity.

On Wednesday night in a 57-50 win over Fontana, Wesley had 15 points and 13 rebounds. So far the whole father-son thing is working out swimmingly for the Knights.

"It's been very interesting," Bryon Sr. said. "I've never had a freshman before, let alone one who is my son. But I like it because I can keep tabs on him in school and teach him what I want to on the court."

It's also good news for the Knight baseball program. Byron Sr. said his son's best sport is baseball.

Rialto is at crosstown rival Eisenhower on Friday at 6 p.m.
