Bear Creek beat Franklin of Stockton, 77-65, in a matchup that decided a Division I section playoff berth. Beaird, who was ineligible a year ago, knocked down 21 points in the fourth quarter and finished with a whopping 47 for the contest.

Richard Boston and Wesley Hanspard (Oakland Tech): This duo, which orchestrated an upset of De La Salle of Concord earlier this season to pin the Spartans with their only loss, almost duplicated the feat against McClymonds (Oakland) in a 56-54 loss at home. Boston, a lightning-quick guard with excellent range, and who can stop on a dime had a game-high 22 points including 4 of 6 from three-point range.  Hanspard a long-armed 6-5 forward with lots of hop had 19 points and eight rebounds.

Jayson Collins (Norco): Although Collins poured in a game-high 30 points, it was balance by Centennial (Corona) that proved the difference in a 98-70 Big VIII win as the Huskies had three players score 20 or more.

Brian Daniel (El Sobrante, Christian): The last time he made stat stars he scored a bundle and his team lost. This time the 6-foot junior threw down a season-high 41 points, but you guessed it, his team lost 61-55 to Pleasant Hill Adventist.

Peter DeFilipps (Menlo-Atherton, Atherton): Took control down the stretch and finished with 26 points to help the Bears avenge a loss to Woodside with a 64-52 victory.

Austin Deloach (Escondido Charter): Although Escondido Charter is battling to finish above .500, Deloach is having a strong season as the 6-footer's 36-point effort against St. Joseph Academy attests. The Tigers won the Frontier League game, 83-29.

Josh Elms (Mountain Empire, Pine Valley): A 6-foot-3 senior, Elms broke loose for 49 points and Mountain Empire needed every one of them in an 84-75 win over Lutheran (San Diego) in Citrus South play. 

Luke Evans (El Camino, Oceanside): The Wildcats have risen to the top of the San Diego Section rankings and the 6-8 Evans has been the stabilizing factor. His 31 points helped El Camino down Vista in Palomar League play, 78-64.

Bryan Garbez (Beyer, Modesto): This player from Beyer gave Johansen of Modesto a headache with 34 points during a game last week. Despite those points, Johansen still won the contest, 81-75.

Oscar Ortiz (Huntington Park college Ready Academy): A newcomer to Stat Stars Ortiz has been solid and consistent all season with a 17. PPG average Last week he went for 19, 19 and 24 points in three respective wins over Heritage College-Ready Prep of Los Angeles, Camino Nuevo of Los Angeles and Port of Los Angeles of San Pedro.

Peter Pappageorge (Burlingame): Continued his solid play in leading the Panthers to their 15th and 16th consecutive wins with 20 and 22 points against Aragon (San Mateo) and San Mateo respectively.

Alex Perez (Otay Ranch, Chula Vista): Just a sophomore, the 6-1 Perez tossed in 36 points in a 70-49 romp over Hilltop (Chula Vista) in a Mesa League battle.

Donnell Phifer (Narbonne, Harbor City): Phifer scored 36 points as Narbonne raced past King-Drew in the Marine League finale.

Deon Randall (Francis Parker, San Diego): The early, early Small School football Player of the Year candidate for 2009 is making a big impression on the basketball court, too, as he scored a season-high 35 points to lift the Lancers to a 72-55 win over Canyon Crest (San Diego) in the Coastal South League.

Reeves Nelson (Modesto Christian): Hopefully, the goofy stuff is now behind Reeves. He returned from a five-day school suspension last week and had 36 points in a 96-65 romp by the Crusaders over Ripon.

Raphael Rodriguez (Army-Navy, Carlsbad): There are many who believe the Warriors will be a strong San Diego Section Division IV playoff team and the stepped-up play of Rodriguez, who scored 36 points in a crucial 69-62 Coastal North win over Calvin Christian (Escondido), is one of the reasons.

Rafa Rojas-Reyes (Brawley): Picking up his game as the playoffs approach, Rojas-Reyes started the week with a 28-point, 11-rebound game that wasn't quite enough in an Imperial Valley League loss to Southwest (El Centro), 59-43. But his 34 points and 15 boards led Brawley to a 76-69 non-league victory over Imperial three days later.

Kintin Scott (Silverado, Victorville): Scott's jump shot at the buzzer not only gave him 30 points for the game, it lifted the Hawks to a 78-76 overtime win over Granite Hills (Apple Valley) to clinch the Desert Sky League crown.

Renardo Sidney (Fairfax, Los Angeles): Just another 38-point game for the 6-10 center who may be the most sought-after non-signee remaining in the nation. His points helped the Lions avert an upset against Palisades (Pacific Palisades), 84-83.

Nick Staub (Tulelake): We missed this 6-footer a couple of weeks ago but when you're from the far reaches of Siskiyou County, five miles from the Oregon border, it takes time for word to reach down south. Previously he went for 32 and 35 points against Butte Valley (Dorris) and Dunsmuir respectively. Last week he had 22 points in a win against Big Valley.

Michael Snaer (Rancho Verde, Moreno Valley): Single-handedly outscored Valley View (Moreno Valley) with 40 points to lead Rancho Verde to a 78-38 win in Inland Valley League play.

Travis Wear (Mater Dei, Santa Ana): The North Carolina signee scored a career-high 34 points to the top-ranked Monarchs to a 97-71 win over Lutheran (Orange) in Trinity League play. It was a 26-0 regular season and 20th consecutive league crown for Mater Dei.

Stuart Wesonga (San Marin, Novato): A new star is rising in the Marin County Athletic League and it's this 6-6 sophomore whose British Guyanan-born mom tells CalHiSports.com, she's raising her son and another sibling from their Kenyan father on her own. "A little like Obama, but not quite,” she said with a chuckle after her son had almost single-handedly knocked Marin Catholic (Kentfield) from the playoffs for the first time in 17 years after going for 16 points, 17 rebounds and six blocks in a 46-45 play-in game victory to decide the MCAL's final playoff spot. Mom was smiling even brighter after Wesonga destroyed Redwood in the opening game of the playoffs after a 31 point, 23 rebound, five steal and three block performance to lead the Mustangs to their first playoff win in 16 seasons after a 63-59 double-overtime victory at Larkspur.

Jesse Williams (Ukiah): With CalHiSports.com in the house, this 6-5 solidly built senior power forward, whose had a few college looks according to longtime Ukiah Coach Bill Heath, did all he could to keep Cardinal Newman from remaining undefeated but it wasn't enough in an 80-64 loss on the road. His line was 34 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks.

Gennifer Brandon (Chatsworth): Not even swollen, itchy eyes could keep this 6-3 Cal-bound forward from finding the basket in a 51-40 victory over Taft that avenges a loss earlier this season. She scored all 13 of her team's points in the fourth quarter and finished with 24 points and 19 rebounds.

Kody Burke (Notre Dame, Sherman Oaks): Scored 24 points and pulled down 15 rebounds as the Knights survived to win 47-43 over Alemany (Mission Hills) to win the Mission League after nearly blowing a 23-point third quarter lead.

Lauren Holiday (Campbell Hall, North Hollywood): The boys' team has gotten most of the ink but if this freshman forward continues her stellar play, look for the 21-1 girls, ranked No. 10 in CalHiSports.com's Division IV state rankings to make some noise in the playoffs. So far this season she's averaging 17 points and nine rebounds a game. Last week in a 60-39 victory over Village Christian she had 21 points and 24 rebounds to help the Hall clinch its first Alpha League title since changing leagues in 2007.

Jackie Shepard (Menlo School, Atherton): Some gigantic numbers for this senior star who plays for former Stanford and NFL quarterback John Paye, the 1982 CalHiSports first-team all-state quarterback from Menlo. Her exploits were highlighted in emails from John Reid of the Palo Alto Daily News. Last week in the Knights first game, Shepard was under her 24.6 PPG average with 22 points in a 58-51 win against Mercy of Burlingame. Then, she turned ICA (San Francisco) into her personal shooting gallery with a 51-point performance, believed to be the season-high in the state this year, and according to Reid, possibly the most ever in a CCS contest. This week, she came back with 38 more in a first-round league playoff game, tallied against the same ICA squad. "Shepard would lead the nation in scoring if she played ICA every game,” said Reid in an email.
