Dudley arguably had the biggest impact on his team of any of his peers. The Cougars’ leading scorer at 24.8 points per game was also the region’s leading scorer based on programs that posted their statistics on Maxpreps. He also averaged 8.2 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, and had several huge games en route to a Division 3 quarterfinals appearance, including a 40-point game against league rival Sweetwater. He was named to the All San Diego Section 2nd team by coaches and media.
Dudley wasn’t alone, though, as San Marcos Freshman Devon Arlington and La Jolla Country Day twin brothers John and James Hapgood had major seasons (against arguably tougher schedules), but Dudley’s dominance earns him the Full-Time Hoops Freshman of the Year honors.
