Five Athletes Named Among The Best In Hoops
After earning a tri-championship in the Southeast Yosemite League and a trip to the CIF Central Section Division III quarterfinals this past season, five Warriors were named among the best players at season's end.
Tehachapi (20-8; 8-2 SEYL) tied East and Garces for the league crown, earning THS's first-ever Yosemite league title for any boys varsity team in any sport and marking the 22nd boys basketball title in school history.
Earning first team honors for Tehachapi was Isaiah Johnson, Jonny Saavedra and Micah Fjeld.
Taking second team honors was Dakota Medovitch, who finished third on the team with 185 points and the most rebounds on the team with 178. Earning honorable mention all-league was Chris Llamas, who finished with 152 points, 83 rebounds, 49 assists and 24 steals over the course of the season.
Below is a breakdown of all first team honorees for Tehachapi.
Micah Fjeld -- Senior
The talented forward was a force in the middle for Tehachapi this past season, closing with 168 rebounds and 162 points over the 28 game season.
