Bio:
HS- Played for Coach Swafford at Sacramento HS and had one of the best teams to come out of Sacramento in recent years. They finished 30-3 and were a game away from the state championships when Coach Swafford benched the teams top player Kevin Galloway for missing a class and Sac High lost by 2 in the State Nor-Cal finals.
Demetrius had a fine senior season for the Dragons averaging
11.5 points and 10.6 rebounds. He was named All-Capital Athletic league and second team All- Metro. Demetrius was also named to both area all-star games.
"We have high expectations for Demetrius" says Coach Corn. "He is a little thin but very athletic and really long.
"D" follows the Phoenix Suns, likes to eat baked fish, and his mom is his inspiration.
Nickname is "d-Young or spiderman"

Getting ready to start his sophomore year, Demetrius had a great summer. Moving back to a more natural four position, he will be able to do what he does best. Run the floor and rebound the ball with unbelievable athleticism. After playing this summer in the Sacramento Pro Am with current pro's and Division 1 players, "D" has raised the level of his game. Look for Demetrius to be one of the top rebounders in the state.
Demetrius has just signed a Division 1 scholarship on November 8th,2006 to attend Marshall University of Conference USA and play for coach Ron Jirsa.
He will receive his A.A. Degree from Yuba this spring and wants to get his degree from Marshall in early childhood education and become an elementary school teacher.
