At the time of his selection, the 6-foot-4, 185-pound junior guard had led the Maroon Knights (21-2) to a berth in the Class AA state tournament. Sancomb averaged 26 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 2.6 steals through 23 games and shot 83.9 percent from the free throw line through 23 games. He finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists and just one turnover in Central Catholic’s 64-46 win over Ravenswood in the Region 1 final.
Sancomb has maintained a B average in the classroom. He will begin his senior year of high school this fall.
Sancomb has volunteered locally as one of the founding members of the St. Vincent de Paul Mattress Movers, a group of six boys who deliver new mattresses to those in need. He’s also donated his time as a “buddy” for athletes with special needs through the YMCA, in addition to participating in the Central Catholic High canned food drive, picking up donations and delivering bags of food.
