Pomrehn's signing made official

UAA athletics: "Alaska Anchorage men’s basketball coach Rusty Osborne has added another versatile guard to his 2016-17 roster, announcing Wednesday that junior college transfer Ashton Pomrehn has signed a National Letter of Intent with the Seawolves.

The 6-3, 185-pounder was an All-Golden Valley Conference performer for Shasta College in Redding, Calif., as a sophomore last season. Pomrehn led his team with 14.6 points per game – 8th in the GVC – and 7.4 rebounds per game, along with 2.8 assists per game and shooting numbers of .433 overall, .419 from long range and .776 on free throws. 

The Arcata, Calif., native helped Shasta finish 15-12 overall by posting five 20-point performances during the second half of the season, including a career-high 28 points against Umpqua. As a prep standout at McKinleyville High School, he was a second team all-area pick by The (Eureka) Times-Standard after leading his team to the second round of the North Coast Section playoffs as a senior.

“We are excited to have Ashton join our program,” said Osborne, who has led the Seawolves to 11 straight winning campaigns. “We needed another versatile guard to add depth, and he is a perfect fit with this group. Ashton has the ability to play all three backcourt positions, has excellent passing skills, shoots a high percentage, and rebounds at a high level for a guard. His basketball IQ and skill set will complement our returners.”
