Umpqua Community College Men’s Basketball would like to announce the signing of Nyaabila Apambire, a 6’4” guard from Damonte Ranch High School in Reno, Nevada. Apambire was named to the Sierra League 4A Honorable Mention All-Conference team, in a year that saw him average 15 points and 8 rebounds per game.
RiverHawk Men’s Basketball Coach Daniel Leeworthy has this to say about the signing of Apambire, “Nyaabila is extremely athletic, explosive, and can be a great jump shooter but what I like most about him is that he is a high character guy who loves the classroom.”
The RiverHawks are coming off a Southern Region Championship and a trip to the NWAC Final 4. They finished the season with a 20-10 record.
