Bahamas native will help jumpstart program at Balboa City (San Diego, Calif.) next season.



Ollie Goulston won 255 games and four CIF San Diego Section crowns in 10 years as head coach at Hoover (San Diego, Calif.).

Now leading upstart Balboa City (San Diego, Calif.), expect Goulston to add to his impressive resume over the next few years.

Why the optimism? It starts with 6-foot-10 rising sophomore DeAndre Ayton, who is set to make his high school debut at Balboa City next season.



Ayton has already been installed as the No. 1 Class of 2017 prospect in the country by one media outlet (Scout.com). He is a native of Nassau, Bahamas.

Balboa City is a non-CIF school and will play a wide-ranging 2013-14 schedule that includes trips to Germany and Mexico.

Check out the video above for a look at Ayton in action at the Fab 48 tournament in Las Vegas late last month.
