Raiders Hoopsters earn post season awards

Despite missing 7 games in mid-season, sophomore point guard Scott Halasz has been named to the Western Division Mens Basketball All-Stars Second Team. Halasz led the Raiders in scoring average at 15 points per game, shooting 48 percent from the field, and finishing second in assists and third in steals on the team. The loss of Halasz during the heart of the Raiders league schedule, due to a broken hand, was one of the key reasons the Raiders missed out on a return trip to the NWAACC Tournament. Halasz finishes his two years with the Raiders with a ten point per game scoring average. Halasz will participate in the NWAACC Sophomore All-Star game on March 9, at Bellevue Community College.
Freshman post Courtnie Martin was named to the Western Division Womens Basketball All-Stars as an Honorable Mention selection. Martin had an outstanding first year with the Raiders, finishing as the teams leading scorer, averaging 16.4 points per game, and second leading rebounder, grabbing 7.6 boards per contest.

Michael Wright, the Raiders all-time leading rebounder, and this years Co-Most Valuable Player in the Western Division of the NWAACC, has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Seattle University for next year.
Michael led Pierce College to a 21-11 record, a third place finish at the 2007 NWAACC Tournament Championships, and was named to the All-Tournament Team. During the regular season, Michael averaged 16.5 points and 11.7 rebounds per game and shot 56.8 percent from the field (147-of-259).
Seattle University head coach Joe Callero said, "Michael is one of the most efficient rebounders I have seen in 20 years. He has a knack for the ball, is competitive, and is an overachiever. I love the versatility he brings to our program." Michael will open his career at Rupp Arena against the University of Kentucky. The game will be a re-match of the national championship game between Seattle U. and U.K., played 50 years ago.
