 
Cerritos College women's basketball players
April Perry
(Cabrillo HS) and
Rose Boatner (Centennial HS),
who were both two-time 1st Team All-South Coast
Conference selections, have both signed scholarships
to continue their collegiate careers at Southern
University of New Orleans, and NAIA school. The duo
helped the Falcons finish in a tie for second place
in the SCC, as the team concluded with a 23-7
record.
Perry led the team with a 15.7 scoring average and netted a
team-high 40 three-pointers, while dishing off a
team-high 3.8 assists per game. She scored a
season-high 31 points in the team's 83-70 upset win
over Mt. San Antonio College, while she scored over
20 points in five other games and was held in
single-digits just five times all year. As for
Boatner, she averaged 7.4 points a game, while
pulling down a team-high 10.2 rebounds a game. She
added a team-high 12 blocked shots and was second on
the team with 35 steals. Boatner hauled in 16 caroms
against East Los Angeles College and had 15 rebounds
in three games, including the last two contests of
the season.
In her career, Perry finishes with 801 points, which is the
12th most in school history, while her 470 points
this season were the 21st-highest in one season.
Boatner, a rebounding specialist, concludes her
Falcon career second in all-time rebounds with 616,
with Ebony Charles holding the
all-time record with 854 rebounds from 1995-97. The
306 rebounds this season for Boatner are the
seventh-most in school history, while her 10.6
rebound average as a freshman ranks as the fifth
best and her 10.2 average this year tied for the
eighth best.
They will be joining a Lady Knights team that went 18-6 last
season and lost their opening game in the Gulf Coast
Athletic Conference Tournament to end their year.
The team, which finished in a tie for third place in
the GCAC, is losing their shooting guard and power
forward, which are roles that both Perry and Boatner
can fill for the team.
