Cezar Guerrero is a name you might want to remember over the next few years. The sensational freshman for St. John Bosco in Bellflower, California is breaking out on to the national scene in a big way. As only a freshman, the 5’10 point guard averaged nearly 17 points while orchestrating the offense for a veteran laden team.

Guerrero has had some of his best games while playing in the extremely talented Trinity League which features some of the best teams in the state of California including Mater Dei, Santa Margarita and Serra. The point guard had 22 points against Serra and 19 against eventual league and state champs, Mater Dei.

Playing against older stronger competition is not something new for the youngster. From the age of 12, his older brother Joe had him playing against older opponents in men’s leagues to gain experience.

“My idea was to have him play against bigger and stronger guys to eliminate any fear,” said the older Guerrero. “I would bring him with me to play in leagues where he’d go up against guys who played professionally in Mexico. He was scoring 25 points against pro players.”

Cezar’s older brother’s influence resulted in one of the most successful season’s ever by a St. John Bosco player. As a freshman he was named to the Trinity League’s All First Team, a first for a Bosco freshman. By playing against older opponents as a young kid, Guerrero was already prepared for the extreme competition he’d face every week going against Trinity League teams.

Guerrero is already turning the heads of many recruiters at several of the best college programs. Joe said they have received numerous letters and have been contacted by Notre Dame, Texas, Santa Clara and USC. After playing in the Elite Camp at UCLA, Cezar also received some interest from the Bruins.

This summer, Guerrero will be playing with the perennial grassroots powerhouse Belmont Shore. The skilled point guard caught the eye of Belmont coach Dinos Trignois when he played in the Belmont summer league and scored 30 points against Trigonis’ team. Guerrero hopes to pair up with Belmont’s talented Darius Morris and bring home the GBOA West title as well as earning a trip to the GBOA Challenge of Champions tournament in Chicago this August.
