The Saintsman: Jurian Dixon headlines the FTH All-San Diego Team

The Saints were the wire-to-wire No. 1 team in San Diego, but the debate over who was the player of the year wasn't resolved until the season's final game.

For most of the year, the debate centered around the region's two top players, Saint Augustine junior guard Jurian Dixon and San Marcos guard Devon Arlington.

Arlington, the senior standout, set San Marcos' all-time scoring record and crossed the 2,000-point threshold for his career, and had the Knights on the verge of clinching the top seed in the Open Division playoffs after beating San Ysidro at the Battle at the Bay. The Yale commit averaged 20 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game.

Dixon, meanwhile, started the year off with a 30-point performance against his former team, San Ysidro, and averaged 22 points throughout the year, stringing together impressive performances against strong competition at the Tarkanian Classic in Las Vegas and nonleague contests against Sierra Canyon and Sherman Oaks Notre Dame.

Arlington, however, suffered a season-ending injury on the eve of the CIF playoffs, which changed the trajectory of his team's season and the player of the year race. Meanwhile, Dixon shined bright through the playoffs, including huge games against La Costa Canyon, San Ysidro in the Open Championship, and a 27-point performance in a near comeback against Sierra Canyon in which he was the leading scorer.

It was these performances, and the entire season's body of work, that makes Jurian Dixon the Full-Time Hoops Player of the Year.

Here is the rest of the FTH All-San Diego Team. As in the past, I have the player of the year and a 10-player first team, a 10-player second team, a 10-player third team and will include honorable mentions in a future post.
