Column: It’s Isaiah Bennett’s turn to lead a winning group at AGBU
LA TimesAGBU point guard Isaiah Bennett when he was 9 and coached by Nareg Kopooshian. Isaiah Bennett, a senior point guard at AGBU High in Canoga Park, has known his coach, Nareg Kopooshian, for so long that there’s a photo of Bennett with him as a smiling 9-year-old wearing a headband while holding a trophy. He actually told us, say we win and play another game in a couple days, he sets a timer to go off when he can start looking at the next game.” Kopooshian said of Bennett: “He doesn’t crave or ask for any attention. He’s all about his teammates.” As a freshman, Bennett was a contributor on AGBU’s 21-1 team and learned plenty from standout player Avand Dorian and the Martirossian brothers, twins Ryan and Michael. All those experiences having two successful years and one learning year helped mold him for this season when we started 12-0.” Bennett is part of a group of small-school players making a difference this season.
