St. Pius X junior Tyrone Riley is SBLive's Southern California Athlete of the Week (Feb. 6-12)

The 6-foot-6 point guard leads the Warriors to two big Southern Section playoff wins last week.

When Tyrone Riley does well, so do the boys basketball team at St. Pius X (Downey, Calif.).  

The 6-foot-6 junior point guard combined to score 63 points in two Southern Section Division 3AA victories last week. 

That put Riley on the SBLive Top performers list and then he put up 69 percent of the votes to win the Southern California Athlete of the Week Award for the week of Feb. 6-12.
