Updated 4:20 pm, Saturday, April 9, 2016
San Francisco: Alfred Hollins (Sacred Heart Cathedral)
The 6-foot-6 junior forward averaged more than 19 points and nine rebounds per game and was a first-team All-West Catholic Athletic League selection.
A starter since his freshman season, Hollins tied a 47-year-old WCAL record with 50 points in a 91-82 win at Valley Christian on Jan. 19. He made eight three-pointers in the game and later led the Irish to the CIF Division III NorCal semifinals.
He’s considered a four-star recruit by ESPN, which ranks him the eighth-best junior in California. “He’s a very talented kid,” Sacred Heart Cathedral coach Darrell Barbour said.
Peninsula: Jake Killingsworth (Serra)
The 6-5 senior was the WCAL’s Player of the Year and led the Padres (26-5) to a 48-43 win over Long Beach Poly in the Division II final — the school’s first state championship in any sport.
In that game, Killingsworth had 15 points and 16 rebounds, which followed a 12-point, 14-rebound, eight-assist effort in the regional final, a 59-53 win over El Cerrito.
The Columbia University signee averaged 15 points, 11 rebounds and shot 49 percent from the floor.
“Jake is an automatic double-double,” Serra coach Chuck Rapp said. “He’s a Swiss army knife, he does so much for us. He definitely left his mark on the school and program.”
East Bay: Sayeed Pridgett (El Cerrito)
The Montana-bound senior was the Tri-County Athletic League Player of the Year for the second straight season and did all the heavy lifting for a team that lost four starters from its 2014-15 squad.
Pridgett was particularly effective in the postseason, including a 34-point outing in a 70-59 win over Newark Memorial in the North Coast Section Division II title game.
North Bay: Calvin Geraci (San Marin-Novato)
The 6-3 senior guard earned the Marin County Athletic League Player of the Year award by averaging 25.4 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists in league play.
Overall, the Chico State-bound standout averaged 23.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists, carrying a 21-8 team that lost three key players — two starters and its sixth man — with 168 games of varsity experience to season-ending injuries.
He finished second all-time in MCAL career points (877), first in career three-pointers (113) and tied for best single-season free throw percentage at 90.5 (95 of 105).
“Special player and special kid,” San Marin coach Craig Pitti said. “Those injuries devastated us, but Calvin helped carry us through.”
