Christian Sacoman is a first-team all-state basketball player from Albuquerque, New Mexico. In the fall Sacoman will head north and join the Briercrest College Clippers.
Sacoman is a six-foot-two shooting guard. He began playing basketball when he was three years old in a program at his local YMCA. In fact his first word was “ball”.
“He is one of the top-five players in the state,” said Briercrest College head coach Gene Wolverton. “He was captain of his team this year. He holds a bunch of career school records.”
Sacoman averaged 17 points-per-game. He shot 41 per cent from the three-point line, 48 per cent from the field and was a 81 per cent free throw shooter for Eldorado High School.
“I think Christian will definitely have an immediate impact,” said Wolverton who watched a stack of DVDs Sacoman sent and purchased some of his games on-line to get more looks at him. “He’s a pure shooter. He’s really athletic. He has a high basketball IQ.
“The thing I like the most about him is his attitude. He’s a hard worker. He wants to come and grow — not only on the court, but in his character.”
