Two Nor Cal players on Branch West Prep team

Branch West Prep Coach John Wood offers up descriptions of a couple of northern California talents on his team (Mitch Wood is his son):

Mitch Wood 6’7” post/wing is an unsigned senior player (2013) from Alvarez High School in the Salinas, California central coast area who displayed a versatile inside – outside offensive game. This past year, Mitch has continued to expand his game and he showed consistent outside three point shooting range along with a good board presence to lead the battle of the rebounds for Prep. He averaged 17 points per game and 15 rebounds per game this past high school season as he was a unanimous All-Monterey County Selection. As he develops strength, his upside is tremendous as a future college prospect.

and

Isaiah Pineiro 6’6” post from Placer High School in the Sacramento area class of 2013 was a player from a top Northern California Travel program that played for Prep in Las Vegas. He is a tough, solid player that will play at a high college level. Once Prep saw his versatility they were able to run isolation plays for him offensively either posting up or stepping out. He played the deep intercepting spot on Prep’s pressing defensive schemes and made numerous steals.
