2013: Cathedral Holds Sway as Playoffs Near
With nine days until the first round of San Diego Section playoffs, Cathedral Catholic still is No. 1.
UT-San Diego’s CIF basketball ratings did not change from the previous week.
One through 10, no one moved up or down, although Army-Navy cleared up a nettling mark on its record.
The Warriors, 21-4 and ranked second, defeated La Jolla Country Day, 72-36, in a rematch of its upset, 44-43 loss to the Torreys Jan. 15.
St. Augustine defeated La Jolla 76-41 and Olympian 74-41 last week and commemorated a special moment in the Saints’ history.
OLD RIVALS MEET AGAIN
Tom Shaules, who set a County record of 60 points in a 102-38 win over Crawford in 1958, was honored at halftime of the Olympian contest, which the Saints led 56-16 after 16 minutes.
Among those who came to see Shaules was an old rival, San Diego High’s Arthur (Hambone) Williams, who was part of two hard-fought games with the Saints in 1958. Shaules’s team won the first game on the Saints’ floor, 62-56. Hambone and the Cavers won the rematch at San Diego, 65-57.
MAVERICKS GET RESPECT
La Costa Canyon battled state No. 4 Etiwanda before bowing 56-51. The Mavericks are fourth in San Diego but the highest-ranked County team as judged by Max-Preps, which has them 17th in Southern California. Cathedral is 19th.
