Last month, Griffitts joined an elite group of Kingsmen: the 1,000-point club. He became the 29th Cal Lutheran player to achieve the feat with a 16-point performance against Messiah on Dec. 30, despite playing just 13 minutes in the lopsided victory. A member of coach Russell White’s inaugural recruiting class - three of whom remain on the team - Griffitts described his time as a Kingsman as a “wild ride.” In his final season, the Carlsbad native is averaging 10.2 points per game and leads the squad in rebounding and blocks. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps got a taste of “Tommy Time” on Wednesday as the power forward produced a season-high 23 points in a dramatic come-from-behind conference win (78-76).
