All-American Honors Given to Pomona Players

For the first time in school history, Cal Poly Pomona has placed players on the NCAA Division II All-American team in men’s and women’s basketball in the same season.

Senior forward Terry Ross was selected to the National Assn. of Basketball Coaches Division II All-American second team in men’s play and senior forward Stephanie Coons was chosen to the Kodak Division II All-American team.

Ross, who also made the All-West Region region team for the second season in a row, averaged 23.4 points and 9.4 rebounds to lead the Broncos into the California Collegiate Athletic Assn. postseason tournament for the first time. He finished his Pomona career as the school’s all-time leading scorer with 1,156 points.

Coons, who was previously selected as CCAA player of the year, averaged a team-leading 15.7 points and seven rebounds. She is the 13th Pomona player in the past 10 seasons to earn All-American honors.

Former Mt. San Antonio College football coach Mal Eaton has been inducted into the California Coaches Assn. State Hall of Fame.

Eaton, who coached at Mt. San Antonio from 1970 to 1987, had a record of 76-80-4 including South Coast Conference championships in 1980 and 1982. He also coached at West Covina High from 1956-1970 and compiled a record of 115-23-6.

Two women from Pasadena will be among the competitors in the 1991 Reebok National Aerobic Championship on Friday and Saturday at the Stouffer Concourse Hotel in Los Angeles.

Patty Munoz is entered in the women’s individual division and Michelle Nevidomsky in mixed pairs. The finals are at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
