The men?s basketball team had two first team all-conference selections and three second team selections, 5in all

?I?m really grateful for the season I had,? said Knights guard Lorenzo Wright, who made the all-conference second team ?I put a lot of work in this year ?

City went 14- 2 in the conference with an overall record of 24-6 and finished the season undefeated at home

?I feel like we have so many weapons on the team this year,?

The 5-foot-10 guard averaged 116 points per game and 29 assists while shooting 38% from the three- point line this past season

Wright?s highlight of the season was when he led the Knights in scoring while coming off the bench in a pivotal playoff win against Copper Mountain

?I?m glad I got recognized as one of the top players in the conference,?Wright said ?I wish we would have ended up for the championship, but I am grateful for the season ?

?One of my coaches from Detroit knew (Coach Mitch Charlens) and then he put me and Mitch together and then I just planned on going to City,?

Wright said ?My plan was to go to City, have a good season ?

Charlens was excited for his team to be honored with allconference selections, but felt more credit should have been given to the players left out ?I think we should have had five guys on the first team,? Charlens said ?Our top six guys would have started on any other team in the conference ?

This was Charlens? first season back at City after returning from a one-year stint as an assistant coach at the University of San Diego Their season ended in a close loss to eventual champion Fullerton College in the third round of the California Community College Athletics Association

Playoffs

?It was a complete rebuild this year,? Charlens said ?It was a crazy deal to put that team together and go and win 24games ?

Wright is currently deciding where he will transfer to next semester, still mulling over the offers he has received, Wright will consider both basketball and academics when making his decision

?I was really looking into where I?m best fitted there school-wise, sportswise, just where I feel comfortable at,?Wright said
