While it might be a cliché to say that a career was one for the record books, Dominique Daniels’ time at San Bernardino Valley College will be just that.

The sophomore leaves SBVC with his name at or near the top of several of the school’s scoring records. Twice he was named the Southern California Player of the Year by the California Community College Men’s Basketball Coaches Association. And he helped the Wolverines make back-to-back trips to the state’s Elite Eight.

After walking in commencement next week, Daniels will get ready to continue his basketball career just down the 91 Freeway, as he will play at California Baptist University this fall.

In 2022-23, Daniels finished averaging a state-high 26.3 points per game, while also adding 6.4 assists per game. Over two seasons, he averaged 23.8 points per game, along with 5.6 points per game. The Wolverines posted a record of 52-10 over his two seasons.

And those statistics carried over into the record books. Daniels finished his two seasons at SBVC with the second most points scored in school history, pouring in 1,454 points in his two seasons, just 83 points behind the school record set by Ernie Powell from 1964-66. Part of Daniels’ success came from beyond the three-point arc, from where he posted the school record, with 91 3-pointers made in 2022-23, which gave him a career total of 144, one off the top spot all-time. He also posted the fifth-highest single game point total in school history, scoring 47 points – including a school record nine 3-pointers – against College of the Desert on Jan. 25.
