Ex-Santa Margarita Player Keane to Transfer to SCC

Dennis Keane, who helped Santa Margarita win a Southern Section Division II-AA basketball title in 1996, has decided to transfer from Southern Utah to Southern California College, SCC Coach Bill Reynolds said Monday.

Keane, a redshirt last season, will have four years of eligibility at SCC.

A 6-foot-3 guard, Keane averaged 18 points for Santa Margarita in 1995-96 and was selected first-team all-division.

Reynolds also announced the signing of Steve Howard, a 6-3 wing from Jefferson County Community College in Watertown, N.Y. Howard, who will be a sophomore, averaged 21 points and 7.8 rebounds and was named Mid-State Conference player of the year.
