Peabody, Pima begin practicing; Ayton's on their schedule

Pima College men’s basketball coach Brian Peabody began the season Saturday, believe it or not. The Aztecs played in the ACCAC Jamboree in Phoenix. Before the regular season begins next month, Peabody’s Aztecs will play a scrimmage against Hillcrest Prep Academy of Phoenix on Oct. 22 at 4 p.m., in the PCC gymnasium. Hillcrest’s top player, of course, is 7-foot Arizona commit DeAndre Ayton. Peabody’s top player this season is likely to be Empire High School grad Deion James, a 6-7 wing player who has received interest from recruiters at UTEP, Washington State, Grand Canyon, USF and New Mexico State, among others.
