San Diego Sports Association December Stars of the Month

Each month, the San Diego Sports Association honors as many as 4 professional, 6 amateur, and 6 prep athletes as Stars of the Month for their outstanding athletic accomplishments. For the month of December, there are two Stars of the Month from San Diego Unified School District:





MO JACKSON, Football, San Diego Down by 21 points in the SoCal Regional, the Cavers turned to their senior running back who caught a pair of TD passes in addition to running for two more to advance to the state championship. He tallied two more second half TDs in a come-from-behind 21-10 victory over host Colfax for the state 5-A title.




BOOGIE ELLIS, Basketball, Mission Bay Stepping up in the biggest tournament of the season, the Duke-bound senior led his team into the National Division championship game. Although Ellis scored 20 points, the section No. 1-ranked Bucs fell to Arizona’s top team, Phoenix Shadow Mountain, in the title game.



Stars of the Month are recognized in the San Diego Union Tribune, via the Fowler Family Awards Center at Petco Park, on the Sports Association's social media channels and website, and at San Diego's premier sports awards gala, Salute to the Champions, set for January 31, 2019 at the San Diego Marriott La Jolla. They also receive a Breitbard Certificate of Athletic Achievement.
