Dozens of tournaments and nonleague games make the weekly vote for the top 10 in San Diego County almost superfluous. Action is daily and will be through the end of the year, notably with the massive, 32nd Torrey Pines Holiday Classic, which began this morning at several venues.
No.1 St. Augustine (9-2) opens at home at 7 p.m. against the 9-2 Centennial Coyotes of Peoria, the 25th-ranked team in Arizona. No. 2 San Ysidro (6-3) plays Monterey Trail (4-5) of Elk Grove, near Sacramento, at 7 at Torrey Pines.
San Diego High (7-3) got post-Christmas action started last night with a 74-67 loss in the LaVerne Damian Tournament to 9-3 Lawndale Leuzinger.
