The pairing will be honored at next Monday’s SBART Press Luncheon, as there is no luncheon this week due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Dugre was kept busy throughout the week as the Warriors played in seven total games.

That included a 12-7 win over Cate where Dugre had a pair of goals and a 13-1 win over Nordhoff where she collected two goals, two assists, three steals and two blocks.

Over the weekend at the SB Friendlies Tournament, Dugre led the team with 16 goals in four games, including six goals and three steals in a 12-8 win over Santa Barbara High.

Meanwhile, Lowe turned in a pair of big performances last week, beginning with an 18-point, 6-assist performance in a 72-60 win over crosstown rival San Marcos inside the Thunderhut.

He followed that up with a 22-point effort in a comeback victory over Ridgefield at the HoopHall Classic in Massachusetts. Lowe scored 18 of his 22 points in the second half to lead the comeback.

The girls honorable mentions were Jada Ahmad (SM Basketball), Jamaica Cook (Carp Basketball), Maleka Wilcox (DP Soccer), Madison Lee (Carp Water Polo) and Holliday Smith (Carp Water Polo).

The boys honorable mentions were George Marin (Cate Soccer), Jose Ramirez (SM Soccer), Shane Grant (DP Basketball), Luke Zuffelato (SB Basketball) and Koji Hefner (SM Basketball)
