Gross commits to Eastern

Trey Gross, a 6-foot-3 guard from Stockton, Calif., has joined 6-10 Nathan Lozeau out of Marysville-Pilchuck in committing to the Eastern Washington basketball team.

Lozeau visited Cheney two weeks ago and made his commitment Saturday.

Oral commitments are not binding. The early basketball national letter of intent signing period is next month.

Gross said he averaged 18 points per game for Thomas Edison High School to lead the league, and added seven rebounds, earning all-league honors as well as second-team all-area.

Lozeau said he averaged about 18 points, 10 rebounds, three or four blocks and two assists as a junior when he was second-team All-WestCo North.
