Mafra averaged 7.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per game this season while the Zachary, L.A. native Leggett averaged 7.5 points and 4.7 rebounds per game as a combo guard. The duo now joins Tomas Bruha who committed back earlier this spring to Tulane in finding schools for next season.
Mafra, who's brother played at SCC, is a power forward from Brazil. The Blackhawks finished the year at 29-9 under head coach Terry Carroll. Stay tuned to SCC basketball this spring as a few other sophomores journey off to take official visits.
