Laron Armstead, a 6-foot-5 senior All-City basketball player at Fremont, has accepted a scholarship to Loyola Marymount.

First-year Coach Bill Bayno recruited Armstead, who averaged nearly 20 points for the City Section semifinalists.

Armstead was rewarded for his outstanding academics, dedication and character. He refused to abandon Fremont when the school was banned from the playoffs for two years for rule violations.
