Gibran Sewani signs with SFU Men’s Basketball

Gibran Sewani signs with SFU Men's BasketballWhile Sewani is from California, he holds Canadian and American passports.

“Sewani has been coached by the legendary Bob Gottlieb when he played summer ball with the Branch West Academy,” said head coach James Blake.  “He is a skilled forward that can step out and shoot the ball.  Sewani will need to add some strength to his game and is dedicating himself to that with the Clan strength program.”

As a senior at South Torrance High School, Sewani averaged a double-double, scoring 14 points per game and averaging 10 rebounds.

“I would describe myself as a combo forward who likes to take shots closer to the basket,” said Sewani.  “I feel the combination of athletics and academics at SFU is perfect for me.  It’s a great academic school with an up and coming basketball program.”

Last year, he was also named a second team all-area all-star, first team all-league and first team all-CIF (California Interscholastic Federation).

“Next season I want to find out where I fit into the program, help the team win and help the team improve as a unit.  I think I’ll bring some size and rebounding to the table but really I just want to help the team in any way possible,” finished Sewani.
