Share via

Tim Preston, Santa Monica College sophomore guard, has been named to the All-Metropolitan Conference first team.

Corsair forward Kim Jones was named to the All-Metro second team and forward Don Dorsey received an honorable mention.

The third-place Corsairs (16-13, 9-5) were scheduled to play fourth-place Pasadena (14-4, 8-6) Wednesday at Santa Monica in a playoff opener. The playoffs will determine the league’s second state tournament representative. First-place El Camino (29-1, 14-0) is assured of a berth at the tournament and will not compete in the playoffs.
