Ten pounds heavier and with bulging biceps, San Diego State commit Tae Simmons of Heritage Christian sure looked the part of a dominant inside player Monday night in Heritage Christian’s 82-48 season-opening win over Oak Park.

He finished with eight dunks, 24 points and 15 rebounds. He’s 6 feet 6, 220 pounds and got a big thrill when his freshman brother, Eli, threw him a pass to complete a dunk. Dillan Shaw added 22 points. The duo of Simmons and Shaw will cause problems for opponents all season. Shaw is committed to Saint Mary’s.
