Cerritos College sophomore center Jarion Henry (Kimball, TX/Trinity Valley, TX CC), who was voted the South Coast Conference South Division Player of the Year, was recently named All-State. Henry and the Falcons were tri-champions of the conference, while they came within one game of reaching the CCCAA State Final Four, which was held in the Cerritos gym.

Henry led the team in scoring (12.8), rebounding (9.9) assists (3.9), steals (1.5) and was third with 33 blocked shots. He scored a season-high 24 points twice and pulled down double-digit rebounds in nine of the final 11 games, including a season-high 18 against Chaffey College in the season-ending 68-66 loss.

On the year, Henry pulled down double-digits in rebounds 14 times, including a stretch of six in a row and eight of nine games. He converted 46.3 of his field goals and 59% of his free throws. Even at 6-10, Henry was a shooting threat from the outside, evident by his three three-pointers against Los Angeles Harbor and seven treys on the year.
