One of the most improved players from his freshman year to sophomore season, Eric Clark (Cerritos HS) has made hit commitment with Westcliff University, an NAIA college in Irvine. In his sophomore season, Clark was one of nine Falcon players to average at least nine points a game (9.0) and led the team with a 55.4 shooting percentage. He also ranked third on the team with a 4.8 rebounding average.

Clark converted 103-of-186 field goals on the year and also connected on 74.5% of his free throws (38-of-51). He appeared in 29 games and started in 22 final games on the year. He turned in a career-high 23 points against Mt. San Antonio College, while he netted 20 points against Los Angeles Southwest College. Clark scored in double-figures 12 times and knocked down a season-high three three-pointers against both Fresno City College and Mt. San Antonio.

Clark also hauled down a career-high 14 rebounds against Los Angeles Southwest College and Los Angeles City College, while he had at least seven caroms in five other games.

He'll be joining a Warriors team that went 16-10 on the year and had their season end with a 67-65 setback against Saint Katherine's University in the Cal Pac Conference Playoffs.
