Artis Gant Sings With 49ers
Pasadena HS Star Signs Financial Aid Agreement
June 14, 2005
LONG BEACH, CA-- Long Beach State Head Men's Basketball Coach Larry Reynolds announced today that Artis Gant (Guard, 6-3, 195, Altadena, CA, Pasadena HS) has signed an Athletic Financial Aid Agreement with the 49ers.
"Artis is a point guard that can play the off-guard spot as well," said Reynolds. "He led his team to the CIF finals last year and has competed in a winning program. He is a great defender and we think he'll be a major contributor to the program."
Gant averaged 16 points, five rebounds and seven assists per game last year for Pasadena High School. The Bulldogs went 27-4 overall and a perfect 10-0 in the Pacific League. An All-CIF performer, Gant led Pasadena to the CIF-SS Division II-AA Championship game where they fell to Dominguez, 57-51. Pasadena then received a bid to play in the CIF State Tournament, but fell in the first round to Fresno Edison, 62-57. Gant was named the Most Valuable Player in the Pacific League last year and helped lead the Bulldogs to a No. 10 ranking in the CIF-Southern Section Poll. Along the way to the Division II-AA title game, Pasadena defeated Dos Pueblos (55-54), Newport Harbor (51-40), Torrance (55-44) and Valencia (58-39). |
