Prep Dog

The individual school winners of the Ken Hubbs Memorial Award were scheduled to be announced this evening at Arrowhead Credit Union Park before the California League game between the 66ers and the Storm.

The Hubbs Award is the most prestigious in the greater San Bernardino area for prep athletes. Previous winners include Ronnie Lott, Mark Collins, Greg Colbrunn, Charles Johnson, Ryan Nece and Ryan Hall - all of whom became professional athletes.

Hubbs was a four-sport athlete and student body president at Colton High School. He was an All-America selection in football and basketball, neither of which were his main sport. He signed with the Chicago Cubs out of high school and became the National League Rookie of the Year in 1962. Hubbs died in a plane crash in 1964 just outside Provo, Utah.

Twenty school winners were picked at a meeting last week in Grand Terrace. Each athlete will receive a special Seiko watch from the Hubbs Foundation at the awards banquet. The dinner is at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Elks Club of San Bernardino (2055 Elks Drive).

The banquet will include the dinner, a showing of the film on Hubbs' life - "A Glimpse of Greatness," and presentation of the school awards, followed by the announcement of the overall winner.

Redlands East Valley's Ronnie Fouch won last year's award. A football and basketball player at REV, he is now a quarterback at the University of Washington.
