Orgill selected the school. The one year Orgill didn't play point guard, Orange Coast won the 1979 state championship in his sophomore year, as Paul Akin handled the point and Orgill moved to the two spot. •Basically, we bad two point guards," Gillis said. •Ray could shoot and Paul was a better defender.
