This is the first All-CCAA selection of Whitfield's four-year career, and the first for CSUEB men's basketball since Mark Samuels captured second team honors in 2011-12.
A native of San Francisco, the 5'7" guard recently completed his best season as a Pioneer to cap off a remarkable career. During conference play this year, Whitfield led all CCAA players in minutes (35.3 per game) and free throw percentage (.903), while ranking second in assists (4.9 per game) and 10th in scoring (13.0 points per game).
Whitfield was East Bay's leading scorer for the season, reaching double figures in 11 straight games to finish the season. He played all 40 minutes in six contests for the injury-plagued Pioneer squad and notched a career high with 26 points last Friday against Cal State Stanislaus in the penultimate game of his career.
Whitfield's career began with CCAA Freshman of the Year honors in 2011-12. Since then, he's played in 107 games and more than 3,000 minutes for CSUEB. This season, he established school records for career three-pointers (195) and highest free throw percentage (.855). He also moved up to second place in program history with 326 assists and ninth place with 959 career points."
