It’s been a big couple of weeks for the Dixon family.

First, Juan Dixon was traded from the Toronto Raptors to the Detroit Pistons.

Then on Monday, younger brother Jermaine Dixon, a sophomore at Tallahassee (Fla.) Community College, was named to the Coaches All-Panhandle Conference first team.

Dixon, the brother of former University of Maryland standout and current Detroit Pistons player, Juan Dixon, etched his own place in TCC's basketball history this season. A native of Baltimore, Dixon became the first player to lead the Eagles in scoring (20.9), rebounding (6.7) and assists (3.6) in the same season. He also averaged a team-best 2.8 steals per game and connected on a single-season record 157 free throws.

Dixon, who played his high school ball at James Hubert Blake in Silver Spring followed by a year of prep at Maine Central Institute, committed to Pittsburgh last week. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound guard chose the Panthers over Kansas State and East Carolina, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Dixon had some Baltimore company at TCC this season. Former Northwestern point guard Jeremy Robinson averaged 6.4 points, 1.9 assists and 1.8 rebounds per game during his freshman season with the Eagles.

• Maryland women’s commitment Dee Liles was named to the Coaches All-Panhandle Conference first team. Liles averaged 11.1 points and 7.8 rebounds for Gulf Coast (Fla.) Community College, the No. 3 team in the country. The Commodores begin postseason play March 6 against Hillsborough Community College.
