BOYS BASKETBALL

Mark Armitage, Montgomery (Chula Vista): Even Armitage's 35 points, more than half of his team's total, were not enough as the Aztecs fell to resurgent Mar Vista of Imperial Beach, 72-69, in the Metro South Bay League play.

Merlin Edwards (Marin Academy, San Rafael): The Bay Counties League-West leading scorer (18.3 PPG) missed two games last month to attend the inauguration of President Obama with his family, but since then he's shaken off the rust of not playing, posting solid outings to lead his team to four wins in the last five games. This week in a 47-30 victory over Urban of San Francisco, he dropped in a cool 20 points to get his team to 18-4 overall and 5-2 in league.

R.J. Farrell (Villa Park): Terrific triple of 33 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in a 70-62 Century League conquest of El Dorado of Placentia.

Jamaal Franklin (Serrano, Phelan): Two monster games for the SDSU commit as he hit for 35 points, 18 rebounds and eight blocked shots to lead the D'backs to an 82-56 win over Rim of the World of Lake Arrowhead.  He was even better against Barstow, pouring in 38 points, gathering 17 rebounds and missing a triple-double by one with nine blocks.

Demaree Hampton (Mission, San Francisco): You saw his name before during football season when he was a standout receiver for the Bears. Now, longtime CalHiSports.com photographer and San Francisco prep sports observer Willie Eashman reports the 5-9 point guard is burning up the nets. In 75-35 win over cross-town O'Connell, he had 31 points, 10 teals and six assists. It was the fifth time this season he's been over 30-points with a high of 42 against neighboring Balboa. On the season the speedy Hampton is averaging a San Francisco Section leading 22.7 points with 5.8 steals and 5.7 assists per contest.

Mark Hills (University City, San Diego): When you play against Lincoln of San Diego, you better be ready to score and Hills answered that call, tossing in 31 points to lead the Centurions to a 78-67 City Western League victory.

Tyler Honeycutt (Sylmar): The 6-8 UCLA-bound senior had 40 points and 21 rebounds, but the team fell short in a 90-85 loss to Reseda.

Teandre Hubbard (Marshall, San Francisco): Had 19 and 27 points last week in 90-40 and 56-52 wins, respectively, over the City's Galileo and O'Connell. He had 17 this week in a victory over Lowell that puts the Phoenix at 13-6 overall and into a three-way tie with Lincoln and Mission in the AAA's Lang Division. Since joining the team in January after coming over from Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hubbard has six 20-point performances in eight games played and is averaging 21.4 points 7.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game. 

Alvin Jefferson (Barstow): In a game in which Serrano's Jamaal Franklin went off for 38 points, Jefferson almost kept pace as he scored 31 in a 79-69 overtime loss.

Moses Kinnah (Gunderson, San Jose): We missed him, but not the Grizzlies whom Moses has been leading to the Promised Land in the last eight games with the team winning seven. Twice he was at or over the 30-point mark with 30 against Branham and 31 versus Prospect, both of San Jose.

Stephon Lamar (St. Augustine, San Diego): The hard-working Lamar was almost the entire offense but that was enough as the senior guard's 33 points helped lift St. Augustine past Mission Bay of San Diego in the City's Western League.

Quincy Lawson (Vista): In a key Palomar League showdown at Poway, the 6-foot-6 senior's 31 points led to a 70-60 victory.

In a Big VIII showdown against Centennial of Corona, Leonard scored 29 points and had 18 rebounds in a 77-62 victory.

Brad Lewis (Simi Valley): Converted five three-point field goals and scored 29 points, but it wasn't enough as Thousand Oaks opened a two-game lead in the Marmonte League with a 57-55 overtime victory.

Noel Mansour (Saugus): Scored more than half of his team's points with 30 in an 81-59 Foothill League setback to Hart of Newhall.

Darren McQueen (Moreno Valley): Got into a shootout with Valley View of Moreno Valley standout Christian Showalter in Inland Valley League action. Although his 37 points were best, his team fell, 87-81. Showalter finished with 34 points.

Tech appeared to have the game won but a technical foul for celebration on what would have been the winning play as regulation expired allowed Skyline to tie it up.

Austin Renk (Marin Catholic, Kentfield): The senior guard stepped up and gave the Wildcats' offense a shot in the arm, scoring 10 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter en route to a 68-54 win against Justin-Siena of Napa, thus earning the Marin Independent Journal's Boys Prep of the Week.

Nick Rosa (Immanuel, Reedley): Racked up a career high of 32 points against Dinuba in a Central Sequoia League game that Immanuel won by 72-56.

Robbie Rowland (Cloverdale): Gets another appearance this week after helping his team pull out an exciting 61-60 win against St. Vincent of Petaluma to extend its winning streak to 13 games.

He came back with 29 points and 13 rebounds in a 62-49 win against Redwood of Larkspur. This week, with CalHiSports.com in the stands, the 6-4 senior, whose big brother Morgan starred at Drake and is now at Hartford, came up huge in a 62-61 overtime victory over Marin Catholic of Kentfield.

Yuhki Sakai (Lowell, San Francisco): In front of 3,000 fans at Kezar Pavilion in the "Battle of the Birds” against cross-town arch-rival Washington, this Cardinal led the way with 26 points in a 55-44 victory over the Eagles.

Myron Samuel (Perris): Big triple-double with 32 points, 10 assists and 10 steals in an 80-62 win over Lakeside of Elsinore in the Sunbelt League.

Renardo Sidney (Fairfax, Los Angeles): Quickly becoming the front-runner for Mr. Basketball after two more big games.

Charles Standifer (Capital Christian, Sacramento): Standifer was a stand up guy with 43 points in his team's 83-65 victory over Highlands of North Highlands.

TJ Taylor (Oakland): Sophomore 5-8 speedy guard threw down 25 points, his ninth 20-point performance on the season, but it wasn't enough, as the Wildcats dropped a 59-47 decision to cross-town Skyline.

Jeremy Tyler (San Diego): Going head-to-head with San Diego Hoover soph. Angelo Chol was no contest.

Jordan Vargas (Hesperia Christian): Vargas' 32 points helped the Patriots roll over Excelsior of Apple Valley, 81-53, in Agape League play.
 
GIRLS BASKETBALL

Nicole Anderson-Jew (Marin Catholic, Kentfield): Last week's Marin Independent Journal Girls Prep of the Week started out this week, with CalHiSports.com in the stands, doing even better than she did last week to earn the award. After missing most of last season with a knee injury, the 5-7 point guard looked good this summer and looks even better as the playoffs approach. This week, in a 54-35 victory at San Anselmo Drake, she had a game-high 22 points with four assists and three steals. This season she's shooting 54 percent from the floor and a staggering 58 percent from 3-point range – and she shares, doling out 5.4 assists a game. She's hitting 80 percent of her free throws as well. On Friday, a day before her 17th birthday, Anderson-Jew finished with 13 points in a 57-23 win over Terra Linda to go with four assists and three steals. In a 70-46 win over Justin-Siena, she pumped in 17 of her game-high 19 points in the first half. She was 4-of-5 from beyond the arc and also had six assists, five steals, four rebounds and two blocks.

Kate Bergsma (Corona del Mar, Newport Beach): Despite a 17-rebound, 15-points performance, CdM dropped a 58-52 Pacific Coast League game to Irvine.

Gennifer Brandon & Monica Jackson (Chatsworth): This high-scoring duo helped the Chancellors bounce back from back-to-back losses to Taft (Woodland Hills) and Long Beach Poly with a 80-31 victory over Cleveland of Reseda. Brandon, a 6-3 senior, had 34 points with 22 rebounds and Jackson added 27 points. In the process they helped Coach Michelle Chevalier secure her 150th varsity win during her time at Sylmar at Chatsworth. Brandon had scored 30 against Poly but it wasn't enough in a 62-59 loss. Jackson, a 5-7 junior guard is averaging 22.0 points per game and Brandon is at 20.2 points and 17.3 rebounds per contest.

Darshae Burnside (Cajon, San Bernardino): Led the Cowgirls to their 62nd and 63rd straight San Andreas League victories when she pulled down 18 rebounds to go with 20 points in an 83-37 win over San Bernardino in which six Cajon girls hit double-figures. She then came back with 16 boards and 22 points in 95-45 rout of San Berdoo San Gorgonio.

Lashari Claybourne (Roosevelt, Fresno): She's a senior standout for a team that is on the verge of a D3 state ranking. Roosevelt certainly isn't used to that kind of attention. Claybourne scored a career high of 36 points against McLane of Fresno last week in a North Yosemite League game. The
Roughriders won, 85-37.

Ashley Duffy (El Capitan, Lakeside): In what is normally a showdown between two of the top Grossmont North teams, San Diego State signee Duffy made it no contest as he poured in 38 points in a 60-41 romp.

Desiree Duncan (Upland Christian): Although Duncan was virtually unstoppable with 35 points, La Sierra of Riverside had better balance in a 58-48 Arrowhead League triumph.

Lauren & Ashley Engelin (Laguna Hills): Lauren led the way with 20 rebounds and 16 points but twin sister was right there with 16 points, four of them long-range bombs, in a 53-38 win over University of Irvine in Pacific Coast League action where Laguna Hills improved to 6-0.

Amanda Frost & Shawline Segodia (J.W. North, Riverside): Frost chilled Eastvale Roosevelt with 30 points and Sedovia added 15 points and 12 rebounds as North rolled to an 81-30 Big VIII victory.

Gabby Garcia (Saddleback, Santa Ana): Collected 15 rebounds while scoring 12 points to lead Saddleback past Orange, 44-25, in Golden West League play.

Shelly Gupilan (Bellarmine-Jefferson, Burbank): The Guards are 23-1 and the top-ranked Division V team in the state with a one-point loss to Montclair Prep of Van Nuys in the finals of their own tournament as the only blemish on a 24-1 mark. One of the big reasons is this 5-9 senior guard who had another day at the office with 20 points and seven rebounds in a 68-38 victory over St. Anthony's of Long Beach.

Jennifer Hansen (LeGrand): She gets into the stat stars again, this time for scoring 32 points with 10 rebounds, 10 assists and seven steals in a 70-39 win over Mariposa.

Nyre Harris (Lincoln, Stockton): One of several top freshmen on the Trojans' roster (looks like at least a few in town that aren't at St. Mary's), Harris had an impressive double-double with 23 points and 23 rebounds as Lincoln beat Lodi, 64-49.

Nicole Hicks (Saugus): Hicks' 32 points weren't quite enough as Valencia used balanced scoring to hand Saugus its first Foothill League loss of the season, 81-70.

Leslie Huber (Elliot Christian, Lodi): Huber was superb with 32 points, 18 rebounds and 10 steals as her team rolled past Lodi Academy, 53-36.

Nicole Hung (Harvard-Westlake, Sherman Oaks): In a 58-45 win over Chaminade of West Hills, the 6-foot junior D1 prospect was right at her average of 19 points which doesn't usually qualify for stat stars. We're going to recognize Hung however, since the first basket of the game gave her 1,000 points in a 65-game career that has the rest of this season and next year still remaining to add to her total.

Victoria Iosefa (Granite Hills, Apple Valley): Iosefa's 15 rebounds combined with an equal number of points helped lift Granite Hills to a 67-59 win over Rim of the World of Lake Arrowhead in a non-league game.

Mary Kate Jankowski (La Reina, Thousand Oaks): Set a school record with 27 rebounds but Nordhoff (Ojai) managed to win 44-32. The record is equal to No. 7 all-time in Ventura County and the school mark was 25 years old.

Janelle Junior (La Sierra, Riverside): Personally outscored Moreno Valley with 33 points in a 74-28 rout in the Inland Valley League.

Kaleena Lewis (Mater Dei, Santa Ana): What roundup would be complete without the No. 1 player on the No. 1 team in the state and nation? Lewis added 28 points to her growing total in a 65-37 Trinity League rout over Rosary of Fullerton.

Victoria Lippert (Cathedral Catholic, San Diego): Headed to Harvard, the 5-foot-11 shooting guard connected for 33 points in leading the Dons to a 71-50 victory over Scripps Ranch of San Diego in City Western League action. Earlier in the week she had 24 in a 67-23 rout of La Jolla.

Kristan Liddle (Irvine): Had a triple-double of 18 rebounds, 15 points and 10 steals in a 58-52 Pacific Coast League victory over Corona del Mar.

Stephanie Lopez (Banning, Wilmington): Collected a nifty triple-double with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to help lift the Pilots to a 66-42 romp over San Pedro in Marine League action.

Ariel Marsh (Ayala, Chino Hills): Collected a career-high 33 points in a 73-46 win over Glendora in Sierra League play.

Emily Osga (Patrick Henry, San Diego): The Patriots are starting to warm up as the playoffs loom, just as they did last year, and Osga is leading the way as she scored 32 points in a 60-38 romp over Serra of San Diego in City Eastern play.

Felicia Pet (Montgomery, Chula Vista): Burying six long-range three-pointers, Pet led the Aztecs to a key 69-62 victory over Sweetwater of National City and into a tie for the Metro South Bay League lead.

Jasmine Ray (San Bernardino): Although she was held to 18 points, Ray contributed elsewhere with 12 steals to lead San Bernardino to a 60-15 win over Colton in San Andreas League action.

Lara Richmond (Apple Valley Christian): Collecting 16 rebounds and 17 points, Richmond led Apple Valley Christian to a 43-28 win over Antelope Valley Christian in Agape League play.

Bonnie Samuelson (Edison, Huntington Beach): Extremely accurate shooter, both from the line and from the field, made six three-pointers and had 33 points for the Chargers in their 70-37 victory over Fountain Valley. Samuelson is a 6-2 sophomore and is averaging more than 19 ppg.

Lindsay Sherbert (Great Oak, Temecula): Drained six three-pointers en route to a 29-point, 13-rebound game in a 61-35 victory over Chaparral in Southwestern League action.

Ashley Watkins (Silverado, Victorville): Buried six long-range shots from beyond the arc and the Hawks needed every one of her 24 points and seven rebounds in a 69-68 non-league victory over Yucca Valley.

Megan Williams (Mesa Grande, Calimesa): Surpassed 1,500 rebounds in her career while scoring a game-high 19 points in a 50-33 Victory League win over Hemet Baptist Christian.

Jalecia Wilson (Godinez, Santa Ana): Swept down 25 rebounds and added 11 points for a In-n-Out Burger special to lead Godinez to a 42-33 win over Laguna Beach in Orange Coast League action.

Jasmine Walker (Kaiser, Fontana): Was a rebounding machine when she collected 25 to go with 10 points in a 52-40 Sunkist League win over Norte Vista of Riverside.

Starla Wright (Valencia): Just 12 days after suffered a concussion, Wright returned to score 27 points and lead the Vikings to a 70-57 victory over Canyon of Canyon Country in the Foothill League.
