2016-17 Week 5: Movement at the Top
Idleness apparently breeds contempt among voters in the weekly Union-Tribune poll. St. Augustine, tied for first with Foothills Christian last week, played one game and defeated Lincoln, 68-62. Foothills played two, winning 84-45 over West Hills and defeating Coastal League rival Santa Fe Christian, 68-61. Two Knights victories over the Saints’ one apparently was enough […]

The Bishop’s Destiny Littleton sailed past Charde Houston to set the girls’ career scoring record in California and the status quo remained on the boys’ front in San Diego Section basketball last week. Equally significant news was off the court. Littleton was named to play in the 16th annual McDonald’s All-America game in Chicago on March 29, […]

Foothills Christian, St. Augustine, and Torrey Pines, we know about. All three played before overflow crowds of more than 3,000 persons in the Under-Armour tournament at Torrey Pines over the Christmas holiday. What about the Vista? The Panthers are fourth in the weekly San Diego Union- Tribune poll but they’ve managed to stay under the radar […]

The El Cajon club is 6-1, with only a 90-73 loss to defending national champion Chino Hills after leading the Huskies, 42-38, at halftime. What’s up with Cathedral? Picked […]
