ISIAH WARFIELD

CENTRAL VALLEY SENIOR 6-5 • GUARD

- — Mike White

The scoop: A versatile point guard with good size, Warfield played his first three years at Sewickley Academy before transferri­ng to Central Valley as a senior. Despite facing many defenses designed to control him, Warfield still averaged 21.2 points a game, shot 49% from the field and had 36 3-pointers. He averaged 8.5 rebounds and 4 assists in one of the most competitiv­e sections in WPIAL. Scored 1,679 career points. College talk: Signed with Liberty, a team that qualified for the NCAA tournament this year and last. Warfield committed to Liberty as a junior, and at the time also had scholarshi­p offers from Duquesne, Southern Utah and Hampton. Most memorable moment this season: The game at New Castle. I felt like that was the game that kind of turned around our season and we came together. Favorite player of all time: LeBron James. Favorite person to follow on Twitter: Antonio Brown or Steven A. Smith. Toughest opponent: I played against (Butler’s) Ethan Morton a couple times and (former Moon player) Puff Johnson, too. People might be surprised to know: Baseball was my favorite sport growing up. Person who has influenced you the most, other than a parent: Carliss Jeter (Beaver Falls’ coach and Warfield’s uncle). He always gave me advice and helped me out. You can’t be an athlete of a coach in the future, you’d be: A lawyer. Funniest moment from this season: Before our game against Quaker Valley, we were sitting in the bleachers when the Quaker Valley coach (Mike Mastroiann­i) came over to talk to our coach (Brandon Ambrose). One of our players (Justin Thompson) tried to get some water from a water bottle and sprayed it all over the Quaker Valley coach. With no school because of the coronaviru­s, anything you’ve done differentl­y to pass the time: Not really.
