Cal Maritime head men's basketball coach Bryan Rooney has announced the signing of Foothill College forward Michael Weimer.  Michael recently finished an outstanding career at Foothill where he played for head coach Shannon Rosenberg.

"We are thrilled that Michael will be joining our program.  He played in one of the top junior college programs in the state and has a proven track record of being a winner.  Very simply, he makes positive plays on the floor. Not only has he been a double digit scorer the past two years in junior college and a prolific scorer in high school but he has done so with efficiency.  More importantly, he is an excellent student committed to getting a great degree at our school," commented Coach Rooney.

Weimer graduated from high school at Westmont High School, where he averaged 22 points and 8 rebounds his senior year under Coach Bill Gerth.  Also during his senior year, Michael set a career high with 52 points against Evergreen High School

At Foothill, Michael established himself as one of the Owls' main offensive threats as he averaged 11.5 points per game for his career.  At 6'5", he possesses the ability to score inside but by evidence of his 117 made three point shots, Weimer also is able to stretch the defense. For his play, Michael was a two-time All Conference selection in the always tough Coast Conference.  He will major in business at Cal Maritime.
