JSerra High has an athlete, Godschoice Eboigbodin, whose size and athleticism are earning rave reviews in two sports. People are calling him a \u201cbeast.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-5, 260-pound junior played football for the first time last fall and was so impressive that college recruiters immediately became enamored with his potential.<\/p>\n
Now in basketball, which he has much more experience playing, he continues to rise. He had 19 points and 15 rebounds Friday night when JSerra defeated Inglewood 103-91 to advance to the Southern Section Division 1 championship game.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also his outgoing personality. <\/p>\n
Early in the season, he was so aggressive he got into foul trouble. Now he\u2019s in \u201cbasketball shape,\u201d coach Keith Wilkinson said, and the Lions are surging with him and 6-9 Ryan Doane combining their talents inside.<\/p>\n
Eboigbodin also can make free throws, so when opponents foul him, he can take advantage.<\/p>\n
Football still looks like his future sport in college, but he\u2019s sure having fun playing basketball.<\/p>\n
