Vallejo,
Calif.---Cal Maritime head men’s
basketball coach Bryan Rooney has
announced the signing of Foothill
College forward Michael Weimer. Michael
recently finished an outstanding career
at Foothill where he played for head
coach Shannon Rosenberg.
“We are
thrilled that Michael will be joining
our program. He played in one of the
top junior college programs in the state
and has a proven track record of being a
winner. Very simply, he makes positive
plays on the floor. Not only has he been
a double digit scorer the past two years
in junior college and a prolific scorer
in high school but he has done so with
efficiency. More importantly, he is an
excellent student committed to getting a
great degree at our school,” commented
Coach Rooney.
Weimer
graduated from Westmont High School
where he averaged 22 points and 8
rebounds his senior year under Coach
Bill Gerth. Also during his senior
year, Michael set a career high with 52
points against Evergreen High School
At Foothill,
Michael established himself as one of
the Owls’ main offensive threats as he
averaged 11.5 points per game for his
career. At 6’5”, he possesses the
ability to score inside but by evidence
of his 117 made three point shots,
Weimer also is able to stretch the
defense. For his play, Michael was a two
time All Conference Selection in the
always tough Coast Conference. He will
major in Business at Cal Maritime.
“We are at an
exciting time in our program coming off
a solid year with 17 wins and looking to
take the next step. Michael will have
the opportunity to be a significant
contributor in helping us do so,”
concluded Coach Rooney.
Cal Maritime
finished the 2008-09 season with a
school record 17 wins including a 9-7
record in the California Pacific
Conference. The Keelhaulers earned a bid
to the Cal Pac Conference Championships
and advanced in the playoffs as far as
any Cal Maritime team ever has. The
2009-2010 seasons begins when the
Keelhaulers travel to participate in the
Cal Baptist Lancer Classic.
