Mountain View grad McLaughlin on a tear at PCC
Pima College’s women’s basketball team swept its season series with defending NJCAA champion Mesa College last week, winning 55-54 in Tucson. Sophomore point guard Melody McLaughlin is a three-time ACCAC Player of the Week and averaging 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists. She’s as good as any player Todd Holthaus has fielded since All-America guard Abyee Maracigan, who is now an Aztecs assistant coach. A Mountain View High grad, McLaughlin has two scholarship offers from Division II schools but won’t pick a school until after more coaches can evaluate her work in the postseason.
