CCBC Dundalk Men’s Basketball Graduates Quintuplet of Student Athletes

The Community College of Baltimore County held its annual graduation ceremony on Sunday, May 31 at the Essex Campus and five CCBC Dundalk men's basketball student-athletes officially became alumni.

Guards Malachy Onwudiegwu (Mt. Carmel) and Umbori Watson (Woodlawn) and guard/forward Kevin Davis (Digital Harbor) were present, as they donned ceremonial robes and walked the stage to receive their associate degrees. Forwards Sean Tarver (Carver) and James Brogdon (Kenwood) also graduated, but did not attend the ceremony.

Onwudiegwu, Watson, Tarver and Brogdon spent both of their junior college seasons with the Lions.

Onwudiegwu leaves with 730 points, a 43.8 field goal percentage (224-511), 33.2 three-point percentage (71-214) and 70.3 free throw success rate (211-300) for his career. He scored 20 or more eight times, including a career-high 29 points on November 11, 2014 against Northern Virginia C.C.

Watson scored 179 points on 51.4 percent (74-144) shooting, but his biggest contribution was his ability to crash the boards. He gathered 150 rebounds in two seasons and amazingly 92 (61%) were on the defensive end.

Although Tarver was limited a bit by small injuries, he was still a huge impact for the Lions. He scored 557 points, made 50 percent of his field goal attempts (204-407), hit 38 of three pointers (79-208) and sank 74.5 percent of his free throws.

Tarver scored 20 or more 12 times and twice had 30 or more points, with a career-high 38 on November 21, 2014 against Prince George's C.C. He recorded seven career double-doubles and grabbed 255 rebounds (5.8 per game).

Brogdon was mostly a role player his freshman season, but really came on as a sophomore to complete his career at Dundalk. He finishes with 214 points on 85-159 shooting (53.5 %), 30 blocks and had 163 rebounds, 100 (63%) off the defensive glass.

Davis provided a huge jolt for the Lions this season, which strongly helped them reach the national tournament.

He scored 350 points on 126-273 (46%) shooting and made 40-121 (33%) three-point attempts. Davis grabbed 134 rebounds, had 77 assists and 66 steals.
