San Marcos basketball sharpshooter Ryan Godges and center Drew Edelman of the UCSB women’s basketball team have been named the first Athletes of the Week of the new year.
They were recognized at Monday’s Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table press luncheon at Harry’s Plaza Cafe.
Godges had games of 36 and 27 points in San Marcos victories over Royal (88-48) and Compton (73-60), respectively.
