Riverside P-E Names Eddings San Bernardino
Player Of The Year--(March 29, 1999)

Trenell Eddings (5'-11" Sr. PG) from Rialto Eisenhower, has been named the Player of the Year in San Bernardino County by the Riverside Press-Enterprise for the second straight year.  Eddings led the county in scoring, averaging 23.6 ppg,  and finished with 1,523 points in his high school career, a school record.  He also holds the record for three pointers, having made 81 last season, averaged 6 assists per game, and in the playoffs averaged 26.1 ppg. Eddings led Eisenhower to the CIF I-AA quarterfinals again this year, the second straight time they reached the quarterfinals. 

San Bernardino Pacific's Scott Smith, who led the Pirates to their fourth straight appearance in the CIF Southern Section semifinals was chosen Coach of the year. Also named to the All-County First Team were Eric Siess of Redlands (23 ppg), Chaun Ballard (6'-3" Sr. SG) of Pacific (22.1 ppg, 6.5 assist per game, five steals per game, San Andreas League MVP), Charles Mann (5'-10" Sr. PG) from Barstow (16.2 ppg, 7.2 rbpg, 7.5 apg, 6.7spg), and Mike Niles (6'-4" Sr. F) of Ontario (15.9 ppg, 7 rbpg).

Smith has been the coach for four of Pacific's five straight semifinal appearances and led the Pirates to the Division 1A final in 1997. Pacific went 25-5 this season, losing in overtime to Glendora in the 1A semifinals. After posting a 81-6 record in five seasons at the junior high and junior varsity level, Smith, a former basketball referee, has led the Pirates to an 83-36 record, including eight losses by forfeit, in four seasons.
