Eaton to the Land of Enchantment

Two sources have now indicated that former Pepperdine frontcourter Ramon Eaton is headed to New Mexico Junior College in Hobbs, New Mexico.

Eaton averaged 2.6 points and 2.5 rebounds a game last season in the West Coast Conference as a freshman, playing 12.7 minutes a contest.

He was a double-double guy as a Sheldon High senior and also a four-year varsity starter.

NMJC, a member of the Western Junior College Athletic Conference, finished 23-9 overall, 10-4 in league and is coached by Chris Tifft.

An earlier report indicating the 6-foot-8 high flyer was headed to Cal State Bakersfield proved to be inaccurate.
