It’s hard to overstate Floyd’s importance to the Western basketball team. For instance, he scored 24 points in Western’s 39-37 victory over Magnolia Friday, helping the Pioneers (13-5, 3-1 in the Orange League) move into a first-place tie with Valencia and Magnolia. Floyd scored all six of Western’s points in the fourth quarter and the only points in overtime--a 16-foot jumper with three seconds left in the second overtime. Western Coach Matt Cavanaugh said Floyd was also valuable on defense, holding Magnolia’s leading scorer, Aaron Williams, to 10 points, about seven below his average. Floyd also scored 21 points in a 53-49 loss to Valencia Wednesday.
