Holiday is Gatorade POY
For the second straight year UCLA has signed the high boy's basketball Gatorade Player of the Year. Kevin Love won the award last season, and this year Campbell Hall of North Hollywood's Jrue Holiday won the honor.
“For one, it’s a terrific honor,’’ UCLA coach Ben Howland said. “That’s really special honor to be recognized as the national player of the year. We’re really excited for Jrue and his family, and also proud of him. That’s a great accomplishment.’’
About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
