Former Jesuit player Jay Flores earns top award at Chico State

Chico State senior point guard Jay Flores, a 2007 Jesuit graduate, has made the Capital One Academic All-West Region team for his excellence in the classroom and on the court.

Only athletes with cumulative GPAs of 3.30 or higher who have played in at least 75 percent of their team's games are eligible for Academic All-Region honors.

Flores, a business major, is now eligible for Academic All-America honors as well. That announcement will come on Feb. 22.

"This is such a huge honor, and no one deserves it more that Jay Flores," said Chico State coach Greg Clink in a press release. "Jay is the epitome of what it means to be a student athlete....His leadership on the court, in the classroom, on campus and in the community is inspiring."

Flores also has the Wildcats on the precipice of one of their best seasons ever. They're 16-5 overall and tied for first in the California Collegiate Athletic Association at 10-5 entering tonight's game against San Francisco State.

Flores leads the team in minutes played, steals and assists and is also averaging 9.1 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted.
