Master’s Lands Greer for Men’s Basketball

Damon Greer, a former Cleveland High guard, has enrolled at The Master’s College and will be eligible to play basketball this season.

Greer was one of 10 San Jose State players who quit the team last season to protest what they considered unfair treatment by Coach Bill Berry.

Dedan Thomas, an All-Valley point guard at Taft High last year, has enrolled at Antelope Valley College.

Thomas signed a letter of intent with UNLV but enrolled at Antelope Valley last week when he failed to meet the core-curriculum requirements of the NCAA’s Proposition 48. He is expected to attend UNLV next season.

Scott Piri, the leading scorer for the Cal State Northridge soccer team last season, is expected to miss Saturday night’s exhibition match against USC because of a pulled groin muscle.

Piri, who had a team-high 12 goals and 31 points as a freshman, did not play in Saturday’s 2-1 exhibition loss to UCLA at North Campus Stadium after suffering the injury during Friday’s practice.

“It’s nothing serious,” Coach Marwan Ass’ad said. “But we don’t want to take a chance on anything this early in the season.”

Doug Huff, an offensive lineman at Pierce College, will undergo surgery later this week to repair a chronically dislocated shoulder and will not play this season.

Huff (6-foot-2, 240 pounds), projected as the starting center, will be replaced by tackle Darren Spence (6-2, 280).

Warren Johnson (6-2, 240), Myron Prouche (6-1, 260) and Bobby Kyman (6-5, 235) will compete for Spence’s vacated position.
