After a pretty disapointing season, the Mercer Island HS team didn't make the conference playoffs this season. But Leroy Lutu can be proud of his season, he was the team's leading scorer in his sophomore year.

The Islanders had a 7-8 record in their conference, 10-13 overall, and they didn't make it to the playoffs but Leroy Lutu really made his mark this season. Usually in high-school basketball the freshmen and the sophomores (15 and 16-year old) are not playing much in the varsity team and the leaders are the juniors and the seniors (17 and 18-year old). But Lutu was his team's leading scorer and arguably the best players after playing only two games last season in his freshman year. He averaged 12.6ppg with 49.4% from the field, which is pretty great for an high-school player. He was the conference's fifth leading scorer and made some great games this season: 28pts 6rbs and 7st vs Liberty on Jan 13th, 22pts and 5rbs vs Issaquah on Jan 20th and 21pts vs Sammamish on Jan 24th.
Now Leroy will focus on studying and will come back stronger next year for his junior year at Mercer Island HS.
