Recent CSUN News: Lots Of
Comings And Goings--(May 29, 1998)

Keisha Harris (6'-3" So. C) an all-state center from Cerritos College, has signed a letter of intent with the Cal State Northridge women's basketball team. Harris, who averaged 13.4 points and 10.4 rebounds last season, picked the Matadors over USC, Washington State and San Diego State. She has two seasons of eligibility remaining. Northridge Coach Michael Abraham has also signed LeAnne Bennett (6'-0" Sr. F) from Ribet Academy who scored 71 points in a game last season, and Lynda Amari (6'-1" So. SG/SF) who helped Ventura College win two consecutive Western State Conference titles.

In other Northridge women's hoop news, CSUN women's assistant Jeanette Armentano has resigned to become the top assistant at Maryland.

And on the CSUN men's side, as most people know Eddie Hill, an assistant has left CSUN to become the recruiting coordinator at San Jose State, and there is now a possibility that Cleveland High boys' basketball Coach Andre Chevalier has emerged as the leading candidate to replace him Bobby Braswell's assistant at Cal State Northridge.

Chevalier, like Hill, played at Cleveland under Braswell. He is also a former Northridge point guard and the career leader in scoring, assists and steals.

Butch Hawking, a part-time assistant is also gone, and the leading candidate to replace him is Rob Ramaker, who was at Oregon when Braswell was an assistant there. Ramaker, 23, also attended UC Santa Barbara. Hawking, a former Simi Valley High star, left Northridge to become an assistant at Kansas State under Coach Tom Asbury, who coached at Pepperdine.

Finally, another assistant to Braswell (albeit a student assistant), Greg Adams, will be moving up next year to his own head coaching gig: He's been hired to be the girls' basketball coach at Saugus High.
