Cal State Fullerton’s Holmes Doubly Difficult For Road Opponents

Cal State Fullerton senior Ralphy Holmes (Philadelphia, PA/Allan Hancock JC) recorded a pair of double-doubles to lead the Titans to road victories against UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly, and the program’s first winning road record (5-4) in conference play at the Division I level. His play earned him Big West Player of the Week honors for the first time in his career.

The 6-4 forward averaged 16.5 points , 11.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in the two wins, and his two double-doubles gave him six in his last 11 games. Holmes totalled 12 points and 13 rebounds to go along with six assists and a blocked shot in the 66-57 triumph against the Gauchos on Thursday. He fought off a 4-for-15 shooting performance against UCSB to connect on 8-of-15 attempts in a narrow 78-76 win against the Mustangs on Saturday. Holmes poured in 21 points and hauled down 10 rebounds while playing all 40 minutes. He added three steals and made 2-of-3 from three-point territory.

Holmes ranks fourth in the Big West in scoring (16.3 ppg) and second in rebounding (8.0 rpg). He has moved into the conference’s top 10 for field goal percentage with a .467 mark.
