Coach Montoro commented on Demaree
"Ben has been extremely well coached by Tom Rothenberger at Jesuit and will be well prepared for Division 1 competition and training. He has some of the best HS marks of any previous recruit here at SCU both on the trails and in the class room, so it will be exciting to follow his development."
