He was tabbed as No. 19 by Texas Hoops in its post-season senior class rankings ... His junior year, the 6-1, 180 pound point guard helped lead his high school to a 30-4 record in Texas 4A and a spot in the 4A state semifinals ... Alexander will fill a need for the Broncos at point guard following the graduation of Brody Angley after this season ... Alexander, the son of David and Sandy, played for David Piehler at Highland Park.

"Troy epitomizes the word `winner'," said Santa Clara head coach Kerry Keating. "His team made it to the state semifinals last year and won 30 games; they won more than 100 games during his career. His summer league team also had a great record so he knows about winning. He has natural leadership qualities that will carry over to the team next year here. He is also a great student."
