SPORTS INFORMATION ASSOCIATION
FEBRUARY STATE ATHLETES OF THE MONTH
WOMEN
Avery Mytnik, Monterey Peninsula College, softball, sophomore, pitcher
Mytnik shined in the pitching circle in February, including helping end then #1 state-ranked Sierra's 13-game win streak with a 2-hit gem in a 3-1 win by the Lobos. In five appearances in the month, the Florida product allowed just 13 hits in 24 innings, giving up only one walk while striking out 19 batters. She collected three wins and posted a 0.88 ERA. Mytnik came in relief to record a 7-inning scoreless performance in a win over Porterville. She has helped MPC to be ranked #3 in the state in the latest poll.
MEN
Demetrius Douglas, Los Angeles Harbor College, basketball, sophomore, guard-forward
Douglas was a scoring machine during February as he averaged 31.1 points in helping the Seahawks capture the South Coast Conference South Division title. The 6-foot-2, sharp shooter poured in 45 points in a 1-point win over LA Southwest. Besides his scoring, he averaged 8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.6 steals in seven games. Opponents paid dearly when fouling him as he converted 60 of 70 free throws (85.7 percent). In a SoCal Regionals Round 2 win over Mt. San Jacinto, he was a perfect 12-for-12 at the line as part of his 33 points to go along with 10 rebounds and 5 assists. He helped Harbor be ranked #10 in the final State Top 30. Douglas was the SCC South MVP and a member of the All-State Team.
