Wear twins part of unselfish Mater Dei team

Posted Feb 7, 2009
Let's count the many qualities to admire about Santa Ana Mater Dei's 23-0 boys' basketball team: Four of the five starters are legitimate candidates to make the McDonald's All-American Game, considering David and Travis Wear have signed with North Carolina, Tyler Lamb has committed to UCLA and Gary Franklin Jr. is committed to USC.

The 6-10 Wear twins have made a big jump in ability by becoming stronger and more physical. "Those who were critics when they were younger didn't realize their bodies would mature and grow into big men," Coach Gary McKnight said. (Los Angeles Times)
