The 6-foot-3 basketball guard was the state community college scoring champion, at 27.1 points per game, as well as an all-state selection for the Comets, in 1997-98 under coach Irv Leifer. Killion set a Palomar single-game scoring record of 45 points, which still stands, against Southwestern in 1998 and also finished the season averaging 5.0 assists and draining 107 3-pointers. He went on to start at shooting guard under the late coach Rick Majerus at the University of Utah, helping two nationally-ranked Ute teams (which were 28-5 and 23-9) to NCAA Tournament appearances in 1998-99 and 1999-2000. Because of a conflict with his position in the medical supply industry, Killion was unable to attend Saturday's dinner. (His mother, San Marcos resident Pamela Killion, accepted for him)
