Huntington Beach twins to play in McDonald’s game

Twins David and Travis Wear, residents of Huntington Beach and seniors at Mater Dei High, have been selected to the 2009 McDonald’s All-American High School boys’ basketball game.

The Wear brothers will play for the West in the April 1 game at the BankUnited Center in Miami. The game will be televised live on ESPN. Tipoff is 8 p.m. ET.

Next year, the Wears — both forwards — will play at the University of North Carolina.

David Wear scored 19 points and Travis Wear had 10 points Tuesday to help get top-ranked Mater Dei past visiting Rancho Verde, 72-65, in a CIF Southern Section Division I-AA quarterfinal game. The Monarchs, now 29-0, will play at Etiwanda in Friday’s semifinals.
