Christian as a senior for an average of 24.7 per contest. He was the fourth highest scorer in the county and had the third highest scor- ing average. Johnson, who averaged 28.9 points per game for_ La Jolla hadn't made a fmal decis'ion last night, but re~- resentatives from the ~m- versity of Southern Cahf~r- nia, Alabama and surpris· ingly, Notre Dame, were visiting him in Montgomery this morning. The 6-81/z Johnson seemed to have narrowed his choice to USC and Alabama. but the Irish are apparently still in the running Johnson, who transferred to La Jolla from Montgom- ery after an. eligibility mixup, made his recruiting trip to Alabama over the weekend, and now will be at his Alabama home until after the Easter school break. Johnson had indicated that he would attend Ala- bama, but after a recruiting trip to USC the weekend of March 14-15, he reconsid- ered

When it came down to choosing wh!ch college he wanted to attend, the thmg Anthony Reuss wanted most of all was a school close to home. The 6-foot-5 center has selected what he considers a home- away-from-home . . Reuss a first-team All-San Diego Sec- t10n CIF, basketball selection this yea: for Christian, has opted to attend ~e Umv~r- sity of San Diego next fall. He will receive a full-ride scholarship to play f?r ~oach Jim Brovelli's Toreros. Reuss will sign a letter of intent Thursday afternoon. "The University of San Diego-: I know it's me," said Reuss, whose fmal _two choices came down to USD_a,nd San ~ego State University. "I know 1t s the kmd of school I can be happy at. We have a close- knit family, and by going to .US1? my family can see me play. San D1E_;o s th_e place - you can't get much better than it is here. "I took a good long look a both (San Diego-area) schools and I felt more at home with USD. When I looked a San Diego State, I really didn't feel_ at home there. USD is also more condusive to the style of basketball I play, and I,~now USD will give me a good education. Reuss was recruited heavily_ by sever~! schools including the Unversity of ~ab- fornia ruid the University of New Mexico, after a stellar senior season. Ruess has been the Christian center the past two ~inters._ This past year the Patriots relied on him as both a scorer and rebounder and he excelled at both. ~e averaged 24.7 pomts per game - third best in the county - and more than 10 rebounds a contest. His play kept Christian in the Gross- mont League playoff race most of the year, although the Patriots ml ed out on REUSS From 10

By BUD MALONEY Christian High's Anthony Reuss, the player of the year in the Grossmont League and a fir ·t team all- San Diego CIF selection, will play his college basket- ball at the University of San Diego. And La Jolla's Ken John- son the county's player of the' year after leading the Vikings to the San Diego CIF 2-A championship, w~s at his mother's home m Montgomery, ~la. today still pondering his dec1s1on. Today is the first day that high school seniors can ac- tuallv sign letters of mtent with· the schools they plan to attend. The 6-foot-6 Reuss an- nounced last night that he would sign such a lett~r with coach Jim Brovelh s Toreros. "The school itself is the roam reason I've decided on USO. It's very good aca- demically and that's im- portant to me,' Reuss said. "1 was very impressed by the coaching staff and uso·s deliberate style of

ANTHOIW REUSS His choice is USD play is pretty much what I'm used to. ''I'm planning to live on the campus and go home weekends. I'll have an unde- clared major the first year, hut I am interested in busi- ness." Reuss who won't be 18 until October scored 544 points in 22 games for

Anthony Reuss a post-season berth. But after the season he was tabbed one of the five best players in the county with his selection to the All- CIF team. He was the first Christian athlete to be so honored. But Reuss sees a different role for himself in college, possibly as a forward instead of a center. "I don't care where I play at USD," said Reuss. "As long as it isn't center. I f~el comfortable at guard or forward. Playmg center can get awfully rough, and that's not what I'm best at. In high schools I didn't go against 6-8, 6-10, 240-pound guys, • Ruess 20

but in college I'd have to go against them all the time." Reuss may not get to see a lot of playing time as a freshmen because the Toreros have seven seniors back from last year's 10-16 team. "Next year I may get a little playing time," Reuss said. "I may get to start as a sophomore. I'm just going to work hard and and try to contribute to the team." The future looks bright down the road for USD, which won five more games last year than in 1979-80, its first season in the NCAA's Division I. "Its definitely rebuilding every year," said Reuss o/ USO, which is a member of the West Coast Athletir Conference. "Its definitely bringing in better peop' every year. I know USD has recruited another freshm from the Los Angeles area, and now Coach Brovelli looking for a center."

SAN DIEGO UNION A ('

Toreros Load Up; Aztecs 'Waiting' Yesterday was the first day college basketball teams could begin signing prospects to national letters of intent and the University of San Diego made the most of it. The Toreros began by obtaining the signature of all- county forward Anthony Reuss from Christian High in El Cajon. They then procured similar agreements from three well-regarded junior college sophomores Rich Davis, Randy Brickley and Robby Roberts. Davis is a 6-foot guard from Central Arizona Communi- ty College in Coolidge, Ariz. Davis, who attended Adams High in Cleveland before moving west, averaged 14 points and 13 assists a game this season and will be auditioned at point guard. Randy Brickley is a 6-foot-6 swingman from Glendale College in Arizona. Brickley averaged 16 points a game, hit 49 percent of his chances from the field, and has been likened to former San Diego State star Kim Goetz. Roberts is a 6-foot-7 forward from Los Angeles Valley and led the Metropolitan Conference in rebounding in each of the last two seasons. Significantly, USD pulled each from the clutches of at least one major school. Davis was recruited by New Mexi- co, Brickley by Nebraska and Roberts by San Jose State. The Toreros are still looking for someone to replace sen1or center Bob Bartholomew - Long Beach City Col- lege star Tim Murphy will choose between USD, UC Santa Barbara, Colorado State and TCU on Monday - but they believe they improved their ball-handling, shooting and rebounding with the athletes they signed yesterday. • • • To paraphrase San Diego State Coach Dave Gaines, the Aitecs signed no more players than did a dead man yester- day, but Gaines expressed no real concern. . "Most of the kids we've been working with just haven't made up their minds," Gaines said. , With that, Gaines took off for West Memphis, Ark., w)lere last night he hoped to meet with San Diego State's k~y recruit, Keith Lee. • Lee, a 6-foot-11 center, averaged 28 points and 19 re- bounds a game and led West Memphis to a second straight perfect season. As a junior, Lee was a teammate of Aztec forward Michael Cage. · • When he concludes his mission to West Memphis, the Aztec coach will journey to Northville, Mich., in the hopes ~f signing 6-foot-8 forward David Ward. -Bill Finley

Reuss Produces Lone Surpris~ Picking USD Basketball letter of intent day produced few surprises and little drama. To the surprise of some, Christian High of El Cajon's Anthony Reuss will attend a C!itholic school, the Universi- ty of San Diego. . And to the surprise of no one, Patrick Henry's Steve Srown will play basketball at Stanford; Orange Glen's ~ean Sahsbury may double up and play basketball as well as footb_all at USC, and Torrey Pines' Bob Capener will ~\low his brother Don and attend Brigham Young Univer- Stty. The intentions of La Jolla's Ken Johnson, the California · Ihterscholastic Federation (CIF) Player of the Year, and Cedric Phillips, Morse High's talented All-CIF first team player, are anyone's guess. .. It is known, _however, that as recently as late Tuesday night Johnson mformed friends he had decided to attend !JSC. The 6:foot-9_ ~ohnson_we~t home to Montgomery, Ala., to ~ak~ his dec1S1on, which 1s reportedly between the Uni- versity of Alabama and USC. Johnson led La Jolla to the 2A title averaging 29.4 points, 18 rebounds, and five blocked shots a game. At the Dapper Dan Tourney last 'l\'eek, he scored 15 points, had 10 rebounds and five block_e~ shots in just 17 minutes of play. : _Ph1lilps, the 6-foot-5 forward who is compared favorably .wit~ another ex-Morse standout, Cliff Levingston, will not jlec1de before April 20. Reuss, at 6-foot-6, is the Grossmont Conference Player of the Year. He a~eraged 24.7 points a game, and, leaving a ~mall school environment at Christian High, chose USD Dver others, including San Diego State. : Another All-CIF player, Bonita Vista guard Jon Free- man, is leaning toward joining Reuss at USO. Salisbury signed a football letter with USC but the Tro- ians h~ve indicated the 6-foot-6 forward, ~ho averaged ::25.6 pomts a game, could play basketball next winter if he desires. • Brown confirmed his decision to attend the Palo Alto -school of a couple of weeks ago. The 1&79-80 CIF Player of lhe Year and this year's Eastern League Player of the -Year, averaged 18.4 points a game. -Steve Brand
