Good genes in ex-Cat Rooks' family
Kameron Rooks, a Cal sophomore sitting out this season with a knee injury, was at McKale Center on Thursday, a place where his father, Sean Rooks, played so well from 1988-92 that his name is in the Ring of Honor. Kameron’s sister is probably a better prospect. Khayla Rooks, a 6-1 sophomore at San Diego’s Mission Hills High School, has led her team to a 25-5 record and the third round of the CIF playoffs, while averaging a team-high 18 points. Talk about good genes; Khayla’s mother is Susie O’Brien, a former CIF section co-Player of the Year in San Diego in 1989.
