Bonner's Deuce Ketner is tearing it up! He's averaging 21.2 PPG in the PCL, highlighted by a career-high 30 points against Devon Prep today. That's a huge leap from last year, where he only surpassed 20 points three times. Ketner joins Kevin Rucker's 34-point effort against LaSalle earlier this season, making them the first Bonner teammates to notch 30+ point games in the PCL since Isaiah Wong (44,34) and Mike Perretta (30) in 2019.
