BOYS BASKETBALL:

Greg Allen (Eureka): Was over 30-points twice last week with 30 even in a 73-68 win against Arcata, and then 33 in a 76-61 victory over McKinleyville. The 6-2 senior guard is now averaging 24.2 PPG and has been over 30 on five occasion with a high of 40 against Red Bluff.

Mitchel Anderson (Chaparral, Temecula): Collected a nice double of 30 points and 13 rebounds to lead Chaparral to a 79-70 win over Phoenix Precision of Arizona in a non-league game.

Alvaro Arreola (McFarland): Scored a career-high of 34 points and grabbed nine rebounds against Farmersville in a East Sierra League game that McFarland won by a 79-62 score.

Tony Baldocchi (Cardinal Newman, Santa Rosa): Cardinals' star makes a second straight appearance after climbing the ladder in three games last week. On Tuesday, he had 14 points in a 64-50 victory over Carrillo of Santa Rosa. He came back on Thursday with 22 points in a 58-40 victory against cross-town arch-rival Montgomery. Saturday, he reached the top of the mountain with a 41-point outing in a 79-58 trouncing of Ukiah. The point total breaks the school record of 38 set in 1995 and is the first 40-point performance in the 43-year history of the school. On the week, he hit ten three-pointers and was 21 of 23 on the free-throw line, 12 of 13 versus Ukiah. He's averaging a little over 19 PPG and his team is now 19-0 going into this week.

Marcus Beaird (Bear Creek, Stockton): He's becoming a stat star regular and did it again last week with 33 points and 14 rebounds as the Bruins beat Tracy. The score was just 55-45, which shows how dominant Beaird can be this season.

Marcus Bell (Enochs, Modesto): A 6-9 senior center who is averaging just over 21 ppg, had 27 points to go with 17 rebounds and five blocks as Enochs topped Grace Davis of Modesto, 67-54.

Luis Bidart (Christian, El Cajon): Needing a big game against balanced Crawford of San Diego, Bidart threw down 35 points in a convincing 55-42 Patriots Central League victory.  

Andrew Bock (Eisenhower, Rialto): The Eagles suffered a tough 88-84 setback that to Redlands in Citrus Belt League action as the Creighton University recruit's 32 points weren't quite enough. The four-point loss dropped Ike out of this week's state top 20 rankings.

Shaquille Bush (Crawford, San Diego): Not much was expected of the Colts this season but with someone different stepping up each week, they remain competitive in the Central League. Bush tossed in 31 points in an 84-82 non-league loss to Morse of San Diego.

Jamar Cannon (Redondo): Drained seven three-pointers and added nine rebounds and five steals in a 30-point performance during a 69-53 victory over Bay League foe Mira Costa of Manhattan Beach.   

Stephon Carter (Garces, Bakersfield): Former CalHiSports.com State Athlete of the Week continues to have a hot hand as he scored 37 points in a lopsided 82-52 win over East Bakersfield.  He also scored 29 points in a losing effort against Liberty of Bakersfield, the Central Section's top-ranked Division II team.

Tyler Cross (The Rock Academy, San Diego): Look out for this team in the next couple of years. The 6-4 sophomore scored 37 points as The Rock hammered Escondido Charter in Frontier League play. Former Horizon head coaches Zach Jones and Waheed Mitchell are at The Rock, Jones as the AD and Mitchell as the coach.

Jared Cunningham & Travis Sims (San Leandro): With President Obama's brother-in-law Craig Robinson in the house after the inauguration and his team's win over Cal, his Oregon State recruit didn't disappoint his future college coach in a 72-68 victory over Bishop O'Dowd of Oakland. Cunningham scored a game-high 24 points and answered key O'Dowd baskets in the fourth quarter with an end-to-end layup and a three-pointer. It was his teammate and best friend Sims, however, who was the key in overtime, scoring five of his 13 points in the extra period, including a high-arching three-pointer that gave San Leandro a two-point lead with under a minute to play.

Michael Dykema (Valley Christian, Cerritos): Senior guard poured in 31 points in a 63-58 win over Ontario Christian.    

Andrew Farhadi (Buckley, Sherman Oaks): Had a solid game with 30 points, 13 rebounds and five assists in Buckley's 73-44 victory over Oakwood of North Hollywood.   

Dashawn Gomez (Inglewood): Netted a career-high 40 points in Inglewood's 93-71 victory over Hawthorne in an Ocean League contest.   

Jordan Grace (Citrus Hill, Perris): Normally an 18-point, 10-rebound effort doesn't qualify for this list but there are exceptions, like when the player putting up those numbers is a freshman and it results in a 74-72 win over Banning in Mountain Pass League play.

Willie Heien (Lutheran, San Diego): The 6-foot senior broke loose for 35 points to lead Lutheran to a 72-54 victory over Mountain Empire in Citrus South League action.

Robbie Herndon (St. Patrick-St. Vincent, Vallejo): This promising 6-foot-2 sophomore guard has been flying under the radar in the stacked Bay Shore League, averaging 17.3 points and 6.8 rebounds a game for the 15-5 Bruins. Last week in a 67-64 loss to Piedmont, he scored 23 points and had a season-high 13 rebounds. This week he came back with another double-double with a season-high 31 points and 11 rebounds in a 71-70 victory over Albany.

Justin Herold (Maria Carrillo, Santa Rosa): This 6-8 senior averages a double-double 22.2 points and 15.4 rebounds a game for the 13-7 Pumas. In his last two games, both wins, he had 28 points and 13 rebounds with five blocks against Allen of Santa Rosa, then came back with 23 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks against El Molino of Forestville. Just another week at the office for this Redwood Empire standout.

Tanner Hinek (Arroyo Grande): Buried all 12 free throws he attempted en route to finishing with 24 points and eight rebounds but it wasn't quite enough as Righetti of Santa Maria prevailed, 60-58, in Pac-VII League play.

Tyler Honeycutt (Sylmar): The Spartans took on Cleveland of Reseda at the War on the Floor Extravaganza, but despite a big performance by this UCLA recruit, came up just a big short. Honeycutt is hoping he and his teammates can develop a killer instinct because after opening up a 15-0 lead, Sylmar lost in overtime after Honeycutt fouled out. He finished with 34 points and 18 rebounds in a losing effort.   

Allen Huddleston (Merced): The prolific senior didn't quite match his season high of 50 points, but did score 48 in a 87-84 loss to Golden Valley of Merced. The former CalHiSports.com State Athlete of the Week made 12 of 13 free throws, but it took 15-of-35 shooting from the field to score all those
points.

James Johnson (Valley Center): One of the state's best wide receivers is also a pretty fine basketball player as he went for 35 points in a dramatic 74-70 win at Ramona after hitting 29 in a close 71-69 Valley League victory over San Marcos.

John Kennedy (Hanna Boys Center, Sonoma): The picturesque setting on Arnold Drive of the Hanna Boys Center is faintly reminiscent of Cape Cod where this junior guards' namesake, the nations' 35th President John Kennedy, was reared. What this Kennedy is doing is making lots of baskets, to the tune of 21.3 ppg for the 8-7 Hawks. Last week in a loss to Summerfield Waldorf of Santa Rosa, he had a season-high 39 points. He followed that with 16 points and seven rebounds in a win against Cornerstone Christian of Antioch and 26 points and seven assists this week in a win over Napa Christian of Napa.

Brian Kuklok (Poway): The 6-foot-3 senior's 33 points in a 74-69 Palomar League win over Rancho Buena Vista included four from beyond the arc and 9-of-10 from the free throw line.

A.J. Mathis (Hesperia): When Hesperia and Rim of the World of Lake Arrowhead got into a scoring orgy, Mathis was ready, netting 36 points to lead Hesperia to a 100-95 Mojave River League victory.

Corey Maulupe (Pacific Lutheran, Torrance): In a 65-40 victory over Summit View of Valley Glen, Maulupe came up with a triple double of 13 points, 11 rebounds and 11 steals.

Darren McQueen (Moreno Valley): Although he scored 33 points against Riverside Ramona, his team came up far too short in a 73-51 Inland Valley League loss.

Reeves Nelson (Modesto Christian): The UCLA-bound standout is beginning to ramp up his level of play. Nelson, who got out to a slow start this season due to a football-related knee injury, poured in 37 points in a 83-66 win over Hughson. He also had 27 to lead the Crusaders past defending CIF Division IV state champ Campbell Hall.

Eric Obeysekere (Miramonte, Orinda): This 6-9 senior forward bound for Holy Cross came up with a huge performance in the Matadores' 76-72 come-from-behind victory on the road at Salesian of Richmond. With his team trailing 68-58 with 4:20 left, Obeysekere took over, scoring 10 of his team's 18 points from there until the final buzzer, including 6-for-6 from the free-throw line. He finished with 23 points and 23 rebounds with nine boards in the final period. For good measure he added five blocks and a couple of assists and left the Salesian folks seeing him in nightmares.

Jordan Sachs (La Habra): Quietly putting together a fine season, this Westmont College signee poured in 35 points in a 70-40 win over Sunny Hills of Fullerton.                    

Evan Redel & Kirk Sheplay (North County Christian, Atascadero): Both surpassed the 1,000-point mark for their careers in the same week. Redel got his as part of a 19-point effort in a 60-45 win over Maricopa and Sheplay followed with 20 in an 80-41 win over Cuyama Valley in Coast Valley League action.

Jason Reinhardt (Elsinore, Lake Elsinore): The 6-foot-6 senior tossed in 29 points, pulled down 17 rebounds and swatted away eight shots in leading Elsinore to a 59-49 win over Lakeside of Lake Elsinore in Sunbelt League play.

Marty Scarberry (Academy for Academic Excellence, Apple Valley): Had 33 points, seven rebounds and six steals as AAE beat Apple Valley, 60-46, in Agape League play.

Desmond Simmons (Salesian, Richmond): The 6-foot-7 junior was rewarded for his play last week by being named the San Francisco Chronicle Bay Area Metro Boys Athlete of the week. He eclipsed the 1,000-point mark for his career with 21 points in a victory over St. Joseph-Notre Dame of Alameda. Simmons followed that up with 22 points and 15 rebounds in the Pride's 57-45 come-from-behind victory over St. Mary's of Berkeley in "The Rock” game. This week already, with CalHiSports.com's Mr. Kibosh in the house at the tiny Richmond school, where the stands almost extend onto the floor of a court 10 feet shorter than normal, Simmons had 16 points and 15 rebounds but the Pride blew a 10-point lead in the final 4:20 to lose 76-72 to Miramonte of Orinda. The mojo was so strong it caused Simmons to miss a lay up with 21.4 seconds remaining that would have given Salesian the lead.

Michael Snaer (Rancho Verde, Moreno Valley): Snaer was unstoppable as he scored 36 points and the rest of the team added 31 in a 67-51 Inland Valley League victory over Valley View of Moreno Valley.

Ifeanyi Ume (CAMS, Carson): Small school standout continues to shine as he came up with 19 points, 17 rebounds and five blocks in an overtime 65-61 victory over Camp Kilpatrick of Malibu.   

Robert Walters (Valley View, Moreno Valley): Put up huge numbers – 35 points and 20 rebounds – and Valley View needed every one of them in a 72-68 Inland Valley League victory over Arlington of Riverside.  

Brandon Ward (Woodcrest Christian): Reached the 40-point plateau as he led Woodcrest to a 78-51 rout of San Jacinto in non-league action.

Lonnie Watson (Paso Robles): It took Watson a little longer than most but his 32 points eventually proved too much as Paso Robles beat Pioneer Valley, 77-74, in triple overtime. His three-pointer sent the Pac-VII League game into OT.

Travon Williams (Bell Gardens): Nailed six of his team's 14 three-pointers and finished with 35 points as Bell Gardens defeated Schurr of Montebello in Almont League play, 96-65.    

GIRLS BASKETBALL:

Emily Allard & Raven Fox (Deer Valley, Antioch): The Wolverines had a rough early schedule but since a close loss to Sacramento in the West Coast Jamboree, they've won nine straight and are 13-6 and on the bubble of the state girls top 20 in large part to this duo. In a 62-29 trouncing of St. Patrick-St. Vincent of Vallejo at the Acalanes Shootout, Allard, a 6-foot forward who will attend Northwestern on a softball scholarship, had a game-high 20 points with seven rebounds and three steals. Fox, a 5-6 sophomore, who can play point or off guard and is becoming one of the Bay Area's top underclass small girls, finished with 17 points with two treys, four steals and three assists.   

Gennifer Brandon (Chatsworth): The younger sister of Arizona State forward Kim Brandon is a bonafide Pac-10 player in her own right. She dominated inside with 22 points and 17 rebounds in a 71-56 win over El Camino Real of Woodland Hills. She also had 29 points and 19 rebounds against West Valley League rival Taft of Woodland Hills, but the Toreadors pulled out the 68-67 victory on a clutch three-pointer by Haley Newell. Chatsworth hurt itself by making only five of 17 shots from the charity stripe.    

Stephanie Carr (West Adams Prep, Los Angeles): Los Angeles High was no match for Carr and her teammates as they rolled to a 95-4 victory over the Lady Romans. Carr finished with 44 points while China Smith added 24 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. We wonder what the reaction to this game and what the press coverage would have been of the score ended up 95-0. We know what would have happened had it been 100-0.     

Chariese Culberson (Berkeley): After a disappointing outing on MLK Day at Haas against state-ranked Carondelet of Concord in a loss in which she was held in check, Culberson came back strong in a 56-39 victory over Piedmont at the Acalanes Shootout. The 6-foot sophomore had a double-double 21 points and 16 rebounds, and added six blocks with her long arms.

Jazzmyn Davis (Birmingham, Van Nuys): In a 45-25 victory over Cleveland of Reseda, Davis led the way with 21 points and 22 rebounds.

Lauren Engelin (Laguna Hills, Laguna Beach): Set a school record by scoring 34 points in a 74-58 win over Dana Point Dana Hills in a non-league game.

Brianna Feld (North County Christian, Atascadero): Made sure the Crusaders jumped out quickly as she dominated the boards with 16 rebounds while adding 21 points and seven assists in a 49-34 Coast Valley League win over Maricopa.

Rebekah Hartie (L.A. Adventist): In a 63-32 shellacking of L.A. Wildwood, Hartie was a one-man party as she finished with 38 points, 16 rebounds, six steals, three assists and three blocks.     

Larissa Loera (Jurupa Valley, Mira Loma): Continued to put up big numbers as she scored 32 points in a 75-57 win over Patriot of Riverside in Sunkist League play.

Stephanie Lopez (Banning, Wilmington): While the Port of Los Angeles community of Wilmington remains shocked over the murder-suicide of a family of seven distraught over finances, at least there is a shining light on the hardwood for the Pilots that the community can be proud of. In a 67-49 Marine League victory over Gardena, Lopez was money with 28 points, 18 rebounds and eight assists. She also had a 35-point, 11-rebound game in Banning's 48-465 victory over King-Drew of Los Angeles.       

Danielle Mauldin (St. Mary's, Berkeley): A superb four-game week garnered this 5-11 junior the San Francisco Chronicle Bay Area Metro Girls Athlete of the week. She averaged 16 points and six rebounds in lopsided victories over Justin-Siena of Napa, Albany and St. Patrick-St. Vincent of Vallejo. She saved her finest game for CalHiSports.com, who witnessed her 25-point, 11-rebound performance in a 63-54 victory over Pinole Valley of Pinole at the Acalanes Shootout. After the big week Mauldin's 16-4 Panthers jumped four spots to No. 9 in the CalHiSports.com Bay Area top 20 rankings.

Jeanette Mendoza (San Marcos, Santa Barbara): Tossed in 31 points, reportedly the most for San Marcos in 14 years, by converting 10 of 15 from the field, to lead the Royals to a 58-56 win over Camarillo in non-league action. The 5-foot-7 senior also had 10 rebounds.

Lauren Polansky (Branson, Ross): The other half of the Princeton-bound Bay Area duo along with Niveen Rasheed (Monte Vista, Danville) that were recently featured in the San Francisco Chronicle, had 20 points, eight steals, seven rebounds and six assists in the Bulls' 50-49 nail-biting victory over Drake. Polansky scored her team's only four points of the fourth quarter when it seemed like there was a lid on the basket.

Tasha Pollard (San Bernardino): Had a triple-double, scoring 18 points and collecting 10 rebounds and a like number of blocked shots in a 65-54 San Andreas League win over San Gorgonio of San Bernardino. Later she combined with Deandrea Ferguson for 25 blocked shots in a 78-39 win over Arroyo Valley of San Bernardino.

Rachel Porter (Gahr, Cerritos): The Gladiators couldn't get the job done against Culver City in a non-league tussle, but Porter came to play as she finished with 20 points and 21 rebounds.   

Niveen Rasheed (Monte Vista, Danville): Bubbling with exuberance after having her picture and a feature story (along with Branson's Lauren Polansky) on the San Francisco Chronicle Sporting Green's front page, Rasheed had a phenomenal game in a 53-42 victory over newest league rival, state-ranked Carondelet of Concord. To top it off, Rasheed's and Polansky's future college coach, Courtney Banghart, was in the stands sitting alongside CalHiSports.com, who was also in attendance. The 6-foot Princeton-bound guard, who also plays soccer and studied ballet and dance, twirled and whirled her way around everyone, registering a double-double with 22 points and 17 rebounds along with seven steals. Of Rasheed's totals, 17 of the points and 10 rebounds came in the first half, as no one could stop her while the team built a 33-12 lead.

Andrina Rendon (St. Paul, Santa Fe Springs): In a hard-fought battle in the Del Rey League, Serra of Gardena coach McKinsey Hadley was not happy with the officiating but it can't be denied that Rendon was on fire down the stretch. She finished with 28 points in the 69-59 victory, including 17 in the fourth quarter. Her final eight points came at the charity stripe. Marrissa Rendon, who finished with 13 points for St. Paul, also came up big down the stretch, scoring the go-ahead bucket with 3:15 remaining and closing out the game with five more points, including a three-pointer.         

Cameron Ruby (University, San Francisco): Her team fell behind 21-0 then 25-3 to Clay Kallam's Campolindo Cougars in the opening game of the Acalanes Shootout, but Ruby never let her dauber down. With her team down by so much and Kallam showing a little compassion, it opened up for the 5-8 junior who proceeded to make 5 of 8 three-pointers en route to a game-high 21 points. Kallam's compassion didn't last that long and Uni was on the short end of a 76-54 final.  

Janae Sharp (Rialto): Piled up 34 points, had 11 assists and 10 steals for a nifty triple-double in a 78-47 win against Carter of Riverside in Citrus Belt League play. Teammate Diamond Smith glittered with 22 points and 11 rebounds.

Devin Short (Monache, Porterville): Pumped in a career high of 32 points in a East Yosemite League game against Tulare that Monache won by a 69-63 score.

Denesha Stallworth & Javier Brantley (Pinole Valley, Pinole): The 6-3 Cal-bound Stallworth threw down 30 points and pulled down 10 rebounds, plus four blocks and four steals. Brantley, a 5-7 senior guard, had 18 points, including 5 of 9 from beyond the arc, but it wasn't enough. The rest of the team could only muster six points in a 63-54 loss to St. Mary's of Berkeley at the Acalanes Shootout.  

Sarah Tamulski (Piedmont): Her team has struggled a bit at 13-6 overall and 4-3 in the tough Bay Shore League, but that hasn't stopped this 5-11 senior Div. I prospect from dominating games. On the season she's averaging 20.8 ppg and 17.9 rpg. Although she can't match former Highlander and current Oklahoma Sooner star Courtney Paris' over 100-straight college games with a double-double, Tamulski has registered a double-double in all 19 of her games this season. Last week, she had 18 points and 22 rebounds in a win over St. Patrick-St. Vincent of Vallejo, 27 points and 21 rebounds in a win over Salesian of Richmond, and 14 points and 13 rebounds in a loss to Berkeley at the Acalanes Shootout. That loss and low output must have gotten Sarah a little angry because she came back this week with 27 points and 23 rebounds against John Swett of Crockett in a 60-30 road victory.  

Tabitha Torres (Corcoran): Torres was torrid once again with 32 points against Strathmore in a East Sequoia League game the Horned Toads won, 74-34.

Megan Williams & Rachel Tohn (Mesa Grande Academy, Calimesa): The duo was unstoppable as Williams poured in 24 points and collected 13 rebounds and the sophomore Tohn, in her first start, added 14 rebounds and 15 points in a 59-19 rout of Redlands Adventist-the 60th straight Victory League triumph.

Emily Writer (Laguna Beach): Penned her own story when she scored a school record 51 points by making 17 of 40 from the field in a 78-57 win over Costa Mesa in Orange Coast League play. She added 10 rebounds and eight steals for the Breakers.

Melissa Zornig (Santa Margarita, Rancho S.M.): Scored 32 points, including three from long range, to help Santa Margarita hand Orange Lutheran its first loss of the season, 57-53, in a Trinity League showdown. That came on the heels of 25 points in a loss to state No. 1 Mater Dei of Santa Ana.  Just to wrap up a huge week, she got 33 points, 23 before intermission, in an 86-61 thumping of Ramona in the Orange County-San Diego County Showdown.
