Aguayo's 91-yard TD run was called "the best TD run I've ever seen” by veteran NorCal scribe Ted Sillanpaa who added: "He juked, outran or pulled away from virtually all 11 Menlo defenders on the run…..with him stumbling across the goal line completely spent. Amazing.”

Jerry Alvarez & Oliver Fernandez (Watsonville): We missed the senior duo last week in a 27-20 victory over Santa Cruz.

Forgive University of Washington commit Deontae Cooper from Citrus Hill High of Perris if he was too tired to celebrate that much on Saturday after his future team upset USC in its Pac-10 opener.

On Friday night, Cooper, a 6-1, 185-pounder who was an all-state underclass selection last year, was handed the ball 59 times out of the 63 plays that Citrus Hill ran in its 30-20 triumph over Great Oak of Temecula. He piled up 412 yards on all those carries and scored four touchdowns as Citrus Hill extended the longest current winning streak in California with its 30th straight win.

"He also played the entire game at cornerback,” said Michael Prosser, a coach at the school who assists head coach Doug Dubois. "He never fumbled the ball; he was a workhorse.”

According to the CalHiSports.com State Record Book & Almanac, Cooper's 59 carries for a single game broke the previous state record of 57 carries set in 2005 by Chris Huerta from Notre Dame of Riverside when Notre Dame defeated Yucca Valley, 66-65, in one of the wildest games ever played in California.

When Huerta carried it 57 times, he surpassed the previous record total of 55 that had stood up for nine years that was posted by Larry Ned from Rancho Verde of Moreno Valley.  Ned, like Cooper and Huerta, was from the Inland Empire. His 55 carries came in a 45-38 win over Perris.

Looking even deeper into the category, three others from the Inland Empire have carried the ball 54 times in a single game – David Dotson from Valley View of Moreno Valley in 1989, John Harris from Centennial of Corona in 1990 (obviously before Matt Logan arrived to coach the team) and Marquise Starks of Fontana in 1997.

Cooper is no stranger to huge statistical totals, either. In helping Citrus Hill post its second straight 14-0 season as a junior, he rushed for 2,948 yards and scored 43 touchdowns.

Lions complete journey to Northwest on Friday night with 28-25 win over Skyline of Sammamish, Wash., in nationally-televised matchup. They ended Skyline's 30-game win streak and beat a team that was No. 9 in the nation. But will it still be enough to quell the critics who say they don't play anyone?
 
By Mark Tennis, Executive Editor
 
SAMMAMISH, WASH. – Oaks Christian High's 28-25 win on Friday night over Skyline High of Sammamish is perhaps the biggest win by a California high school football team ever against a team from Washington.
 
That claim is due to Washington teams owning a 10-6 record in games against California schools since 1911 and because none of the California teams had ever won before in a hyped up showdown on the road.

Still, both Lions' coach Bill Redell and quarterback Nick Montana know that even beating a team like Skyline, which has won two straight Class 4A Washington state titles and had a 30-game win streak broken with two All-Americans in its lineup, won't be enough for some in the media who question whether the team should be No. 1 in the state (its current position in the CalHiSports.com rankings) or No. 6 in the nation, according to the ESPN RISE FAB 50.
 
"A lot of people doubt us, but that is a great team we just beat,” Montana said. "They showed a lot of heart and made a lot of big plays. We did too and came out with a big win.”

Since the 1980 season, when Cal-Hi Sports chronicled the feats of California prep standouts such as Santa Barbara's Randall Cunningham, Orange Glen's Sean Salisbury and Hayward's Jack Del Rio, it's been our duty and pleasure to profile the state's top individual performers on a weekly basis. This season, however, we're raising the bar a little higher. Since our exclusive state record book is getting so big (352 pages and counting) and the minimum cutoffs quite high to be included, we going to make sure we're profiling only the very best performances. Plus, we want to make finding your favorite player and following the other top performers easier and funner than ever. We might even throw in a "blast from the past" every once in a while. It's this kind of exclusive content and research that makes ESPN RISE CalHiSports.com the foremost authority of California prep sports. This is the 30th consecutive year we will publish this feature, starting back when many of the top performers' parents were not even in high school yet.

Mark Borland (Santa Teresa, San Jose): This big, bruising 6-0, 215-pound senior FB/LB has been getting it done on both sides of the ball for the 2-0 Saints. Besides being one of the top rushers in the CCS, he's the reported leading tackler in the section with 35 after two games. In an opening season 42-36 shootout win at home against Saratoga two weeks ago, Borland rushed for 201 yards with four TDs, caught two passes for 24 yards, and recorded 18 tackles.

BASEBALL

Abi Arias (Menlo-Atherton, Atherton): In two losses to Peninsula power Aragon of San Mateo, the senior third sacker was 5-for-7 with six RBI and hit his sixth home run of the season.

Jesse Arreola (Patriot, Riverside): Arreola threw a three hitter and struck out 13 in a 7-0 shutout over Summit of Fontana.  Patriot also captured its fourth league crown with Arreola's win.

Nick Backlund (Valley Christian, San Jose): The Warriors lost 15-11 in the WCAL championship slugfest to Serra, but this slugger did everything he could and has been doing it over the past few weeks as well. With his team trailing 7-5 in the third inning, Backlund smoked a rocket over the 402-foot sign in centerfield for a three run homer that gave the Warriors an 8-7 lead. The bomb was his 12th of the year and eighth in the past seven games, not including this week.

Brett Bell & Stan Moody (Tomales): The NCS reported RBI leader with 48, Bell had seven in one game last week with two doubles and five runs scored in a shellacking of Santa Rosa Christian.

Mark Appel (Monte Vista, Danville): Senior righthander threw a no-hitter with 13 strikeouts and two walks in a 17-0 blowout of Livermore. After that outing, the Stanford-bound hurler has a 1.04 ERA and has not given up an earned run in his last 20 innings. The performance earned him the San Francisco Chronicle Boys Athlete of the Week.

Patrick Conroy (Drake, San Anselmo): Hit his 11th home run of the season and had five RBIs (37 this season) in a 14-6 victory over Tamalpais of Mill Valley. Earlier in the week, he pitched a three-hit shutout with seven Ks in a 3-0 win over Novato to improve to 9-3 this season.

Christian Coronado (Hemet): He doesn't have a fat contract like former Vallejo standout and current Yankees pitcher C.C. Sabathia does, but this C.C. was money as he struck out 11 and walked none in a 5-3 win over Perris.
 
Blake Davey (Newport Harbor, Newport Beach): Went a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate, including a home run, double and three RBI in a 13-5 upset of Edison (Huntington Beach).

Michael Davis (Woodcrest Christian, Riverside): Davis went 3-for-3 and drove in four in a 10-5 win over Riverside Christian. 

Joey DeNato (Torrey Pines, San Diego): Whether on the mound or at the plate, the junior lefty was untouchable. DeNato allowed just one hit while fanning 15 in just six innings while going 3-for-3 and scoring twice, as the Falcons downed San Pasqual (Escondido), 5-0.(Read full post)

BASEBALL

Mark Appel (Monte Vista, Danville): We missed the Stanford-bound star two weeks ago but he had an exceptional outing against Tokay of Lodi in a 3-2 loss at Banner Island Park in Stockton. Appel and the other pitchers have been doing fine, but the Mustangs' hitting the last two weeks has been anemic. In the Tokay game, Appel pitched six innings with 11 strikeouts, no walks and one unearned run. He left the game with a 2-1 lead after scattering six hits and ended up taking a no decision after Tokay tied the game in the bottom of the seventh. Mark has a 1.40 ERA for the season.

Matt Brezinski (Sacred Heart Prep, Atherton): Pitched a three-hitter and had an RBI double to lead the Gators to their 10th straight win, a 3-0 victory over Mills of Millbrae.

Christian Carter (Westview, San Diego): His two-run homer was part of five RBI on a 3-for-4 day as the Wolverines spanked San Marcos, 12-2, in SD Valley League play.

John Combest (Huntington Beach): Although Northwood (Irvine) scored seven runs as a team, Combest drove in seven all by himself, slamming two home runs, as the Oilers rolled, 14-7.

Saul Cuevas (Lindhurst, Olivehurst): Led the offense for the Blazers in their 15-5 road win at Golden Sierra of Garden Valley with a pair of homers and seven RBI.

Devin De La Garza (McFarland): Led his team past Laton, 6-0, in a East Sierra League game as he pitched a seven-inning no-hitter with 15 strikeouts.

Mitch Delfino (Cloverdale): This senior shortstop and right-handed pitcher has been on fire at the plate the past two weeks and likewise is pitching well. Last week in an 18-2 blowout of Lower Lake, he was 4-for-4 with two doubles, four RBI and two runs scored. Two weeks ago, he improved to 4-1 on the season when he struck out 15 and hit his fourth home run of this year in a 7-2 win against St. Helena. In four games the past two weeks, Delfino is 11-for-13 with a homer, six doubles, one triple, nine RBI and seven runs scored. Those numbers have propelled him top the top of the NCS in hitting with a .633 mark so far this season.

Ricky Diaz (Tracy): Was a perfect 5-for-5 at the plate with his last hit coming in grand fashion. Diaz ended the game with a grand-slam homer in the bottom of the fifth inning in the Bulldogs' 13-1 win over Chavez of Stockton.

Jake Etcheverry (Hughson): It's not quite a record in our newly updated state record book but it's impressive nonetheless as he went 4-for-5 with a grand slam homer and nine RBI as the Huskies scored 16 runs in the second inning of a 30-0 win over Riverbank.(Read full post)

BASEBALL

Isias Alcantar (Analy, Sebastopol): He missed the first five games of the baseball season as a point guard on the Tigers basketball team that made it all the way to the Northern Regional semifinals. Finally starting to round into shape, the shortstop and pitcher led the Tigers to the championship of the Al Rabinovitz tournament last week. In the championship game, a 10-2 victory over Montgomery (Santa Rosa), he went 4-for-4 and played a flawless shortstop. He also pitched six shutout innings against Maria Carrillo (Santa Rosa) in the tourney, allowing just two hits and striking out seven. He also drove in four runs in three games. For his efforts Alcantar was named the Santa Rosa Press Democrat Athlete of the Week. On the season Alcantar is hitting around .350.

Junior Alvarez (Orange Cove): Set a personal high when he had five hits, including a double, and drove in three runs in a 18-5 win over Farmersville in an East Sierra League contest.

Gary Apelian (Esperanza, Anaheim): Apelian proved the grand slam home run against Mamaroneck (N.Y.) a game earlier was no fluke as powered out another bases-loaded blast to lift the Aztecs to a 10-3 win over Archbishop Mitty (San Jose) in the Anaheim Lions Tournament quarterfinals. That grand slam against Mamaroneck was huge as the Aztecs won, 8-7.

Nolan Arenado (El Toro): Just what the Chargers needed as Arenado tossed a complete game 2-1 victory over nationally-ranked Central (Palm Beach, Fla.) in the Anderson Bats National Classic.

J.J. Baccari (Marina, Huntington Beach): Every time he hit the ball, it left the park as he bashed four home runs, scored five times and drove in nine runs in a 16-4 win over Fountain Valley.

Corey Black (Mission Bay, San Diego): When a solo home run in the first inning wasn't enough, the Buccaneers senior ripped a three-run blast in the fourth to help deliver a 6-4 Western League win over Madison (San Diego).

Ryan Boeger (Redlands East Valley): Boeger drove in five and hit a homer in a 12-2 win over Yucaipa.  At the time Yucaipa was ranked No. 2 in the state.

Vince Bruno (Clayton Valley, Concord): This senior makes a second appearance in the feature after having two big games last week to help lead the CalHiSports.com Bay Area's No. 4 ranked Eagles to the championship in the Gordie Classic. In 12-2 and 12-5 semi and title games against Livermore and Irvington, respectively, Bruno was a combined 5-for-8 with a home run, double, three RBIs, three runs scored. In the opener against Pinole Valley two Saturday's ago, he has 3-for-4 with a homer, double and four RBIs and two runs. All told for four games it's a total of 8-for-12, two round-trippers, two doubles, seven RBIs, five runs and one walk as well. What a tournament!(Read full post)

BASEBALL

Victor Bailon (Arvin): Banged out four hits, including two home runs, with six RBI and scored three times as Arvin beat South of Bakersfield, 18-8, in the Don Ward Classic. Teammate Fausto Buelna also stole four bases to go along with three hits, three runs and three RBI.

Patrick Conroy (Drake, San Anselmo): He's back for a second straight week and after what CalHiSports.com saw from him at the 12th Annual Adam Westcott Memorial Tournament at Casa Grande High, coupled with his current numbers, is any indication of the next season-and-a-half, we may see his name in a few more places. The lefthander pitched a complete game three-hit shutout with 11 strikeouts and hit his state leading 10th home run in leading Drake (13-5) to the tournament title with a 15-0 victory over Bishop O'Dowd of Oakland. The 6-2 junior also had an RBI double in the first inning, was 2-for-3, and reached base four times (error and hit by pitch). He finished with four RBIs and three runs scored.

BASEBALL

Miguel Acosta (Skyline, Oakland): Former major-leaguer, current television color man and Titans coach Bip Roberts has a solid player in this senior. Against McClymonds in a 13-1 victory last week, Acosta was a one man wrecking crew. At the plate, he was 4-for-5 with a home run, double, four RBIs and two runs scored. He also pitched a complete game four-hitter with 16 strikeouts.

Christian Belleque (Fullerton): The junior right-hander collected 9 strikeouts in five innings as the Indians used three homers in the first inning to pummel La Habra, 10-1, in a Freeway League showdown.

John Bowling (Lincoln, Stockton): Was told he'd get the nod on the mound just before the game started and his coach is probably more than thrilled he made the move as Bowling gave himself an early cushion with a three-run homer. On the mound, he struck out eight and didn't allow a hit in a 6-0 Trojans win over Tracy.

Vince Bruno & Johnny Bekakis (Clayton Valley, Concord): The two biggest guns on the 10-1 Eagles, whose only loss is to state-ranked Monte Vista (Danville), are 6-foot senior Bruno and 6-foot junior Bekakis. Bruno has at least one hit in every game so far. He was "only” 4-for-8 in his last two games with three RBIs. We say only because Bruno is tearing it up at a .575 clip with 23 hits in 45 appearances with a homer, seven doubles, 18 RBIs and 13 runs scored. Bekakis is hitting .516 and was 3-for-4 with three RBIs and three runs scored in the Eagles' 17-7 victory last week over College Park of Pleasant Hill.

BASEBALL

Josh Anderson (Poway): Went 6-for-6 in the final two games of the Hilltop Tournament in Chula Vista, rocketing three solo home runs, but the Titans dropped the title game to San Diego's top-ranked team, Cathedral Catholic, 14-6.

Matt Davis (Taft): Pitched a no-hitter with seven strike-outs, allowed only one walk in a seven inning South Sequoia League 8-0 victory over Shafter. Left-fielder Jonathan Guzman made a divining catch in the sixth inning to preserve the no-hitter.

Dylan Floro (Buchach Colony, Atwater): The Cal St. Fullerton bound senior struck out 12 in five innings and may have had even more if he didn't also drive in three runs to help end the game early. Buchach Colony won in five innings, 10-0, over Turlock.

Ron Galosic (San Pedro): Another Pirate made stat stars this week, as Galosic collected four hits and drove in four in a 19-3 win over Bellflower.

Kurt Heyer (Edison, Huntington Beach): After being staked to a 6-0 lead in the first inning, the righty allowed just five hits, striking out seven, as the Chargers beat Esperanza (Anaheim), 11-0, in the Sunset League opener. Heyer retired 9 of the first 11 and pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth.

Parker Hipp (Cathedral Catholic, San Diego): Hipp, who directed the Dons to the state Division II football championship as a quarterback, is a sure-handed second baseman who went 2-for-2 with a triple and three RBI in a 14-6 win over Poway in the Hilltop Tournament (Chula Vista) championship. Football teammate Tyler Gaffney, California's Mr. Football State Player of the Year, added a 2-run single during an 8-0 first inning in which Cathedral sent 14 batters to the plate, taking advantage of four hit-batsmen and three walks.

K.C. Hobson (Stockdale, Bakersfield): Showed why he's got scouts showing up for his games, as he tossed a five inning perfect game with 13 strikeouts in a 17-0 win over Highland. At the plate he had two doubles and a homer with six RBI.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Stefani Agostini (Modesto Christian): Hit a Sac-Joaquin Section playoff record eight three-pointers as she scored 26 points in a semifinal win over Argonaut. Had six three-pointers at halftime and may have had more than eight if not for the 76-30 blowout win, which limited her minutes in the second half.

Chelsea Gray (St. Mary's, Stockton): Just like last year, the Rams game against Sacred Heart Cathedral in the NorCal Div. III championship game came down to a final shot at the buzzer but this time it was Gray who had the last shot and she converted in the final seconds for the win.

BOYS BASKETBALL

Maverick Ahanmisi & Trevor Wiseman (Golden Valley, Santa Clarita): In addition to having a stylish first name, Ahanmisi tossed in 31 points to team with Wiseman, who set a school record with 18 boards, in an 85-76 Foothill League win over Saugus.

Jose Arreloa (McFarland): He scored 34 points against Laton with McFarland winning by the score of 71-51 in an East Sierra League game.

Christopher Bearden (Sonora, La Habra): The 6-foot senior guard had 28 points and 15 rebounds, but the Raiders went scoreless in overtime, falling to Colony, 68-60 in the Nike Extravaganza at Mater Dei.

Gaellan Bewernick (Manuel Arts, Los Angeles): Playing for a school with a storied tradition from decades past this 6-6 senior has been rolling along at a 25.3 PPG and 17.5 RPG average, with a double-double in all 28 games even though the team is only 12-16. Last week in a 73-53 victory over View Park Prep, he went for 30 points even with 18 rebounds, his seventh 30-point performance on the season. His rebounding high is 25 and he's been 20-plus on the glass six times. 

James Boyd (Jordan, Los Angeles): Former ESPN RISE CalHiSports.com Boys State Athlete of the Week is putting up numbers almost as gaudy as his passing and running yardage when he won the award during football season. Don't forget his sacks because he's playing DE at USC. On the hardwood, maybe the Trojans should give him a crack there as well. In his most recent outing the 6-5, 235-pound Boyd had 35 points and 27 rebounds in a 77-46 drubbing of Bell. He's had a 30/30 game this season and been over 40 points twice, and is averaging 23.7 points and 22.4 rebounds per game. As the late Raiders announcer Bill King would say, "Holy Toledo!”

Tyler Bray (Kingsburg): The 6-6 junior, and football quarterback, scored 33 points and made seven three-point field goals to lead the Vikings past Coalinga, 71-38, in a Central Sequoia League game. Bray also had eight rebounds, five assists and two blocked shots against the Horned Toads.

Jordan Burris (Stockdale, Bakersfield): He scored a career-high of 35 points against Frontier and led his team to an 89-51 triumph in a Southwest Yosemite League game.

Luke Cassedy (Central Valley, Shasta Lake): After going for 30 and 29 points two weeks ago, the 6-1 senior guard had 24 points and 15 rebounds last week in a 60-46 win against West Valley of Cottonwood.

Stephen Clark (Community Harvest, Los Angeles): Harvest brought home the crops with his second 31-point effort of the season in 71-39 victory over Foshay Learning Center of Los Angeles.

Brian Daniel (El Sobrante Christian, El Sobrante): The 6-foot junior threw down a season-high 41 points with five treys in a 61-55 win against Pleasant Hill Adventist Academy of Pleasant Hill. On the season he's averaging 24.3 PPG and has gone over 30-points six times.

Joshua De La Torre (Washington, Los Angeles): Poured in 34 points to help the Generals bury Carson, 74-48, in the L.A. City's Marine League.

Lucas Devenny (Piner, Santa Rosa): With CalHiSports.com on hand to see the big fella match up with undefeated cross-town Cardinal Newman, purple-haired Devenny put on a show despite the Prospectors falling 54-51 at Newman. The 6-9, 245-pounder, who is going to UC Santa Barbara, showed everyone he is certainly the best player in the Redwood Empire. Even Newman Coach Tom Bonfigli, who's coached in the area over 20 years, said Big Luke, could very well be the best big man ever to come out of the land of redwoods and wine. Against Newman he had 23 points and 21 rebounds (tying a record for the most in Newman's house), and added six blocks. Earlier in the week in a 59-53 loss to Ukiah, Devenny did all he could with 21 points, 16 rebounds and six blocks. On the season he's averaging 21.3 PPG, 12.5 RPG with 3.7 blocks.

Chris Dixon (Garces, Bakersfield): Playing on the same team as Stephon Carter doesn't usually allow many others to score that much, but Dixon went nuts with career-high of 35 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks to lead the Rams past West of Bakersfield, 61-60, in a non-league game.

James Douglas (Orange Lutheran, Orange): The Lancers toppled Campbell Hall (Van Nuys) 82-62 at Mater Dei's Nike Extravaganza, thanks in large part to Douglas' 23 points (11 of 18 shooting) and nine rebounds.

Devin Dyer (Temecula Valley, Temecula): Although the boys basketball program is the subject of a school internal investigation, it didn't distract Dyer, a 6-1 guard who pitched in 33 points as the Golden Bears downed Vista Murrieta, 70-56, in a Southwestern League game.

Stephen Henry (Coastal Christian, Arroyo Grande): Certainly gave it all he had in gathering in 22 rebounds and scoring 19 points, but the Conquerors fell short to Cuyama Valley, 61-57, in Coast Valley League play.
    
Malik Heptot (Dos Pueblos, Goleta): Heptot collected a career-high ten blocked shots, thwarting just enough Buena (Ventura) attempts to help the Chargers to a 47-46 victory in Channel League play.

Billy Hilton (Tioga, Groveland): Small school standout for last couple of seasons in the Sac-Joaquin Section had 23 points, 23 rebounds, 12 assists and five blocks as Tioga beat Stone Ridge Christian of Merced, 76-50.

Allen Huddleston (Merced): Kept up his scoring average above 30 ppg with 32 points and nine rebounds as the Bears topped Turlock, 66-62. Huddleston also had 28 points, eight rebounds and six assists in a 73-55 win by the Bears over Atwater.

Joe Hudson (Escondido): Just a junior, the 5-11 guard poured in 32 points leading the Cougars to a 74-50 Avocado League victory over Fallbrook.

Devyn Iglehart (Horizon, San Diego): Went off for 41 points, 21 of them on long-range shots, but didn't get enough help as the Panthers dropped a 57-51 Coastal South game to Francis Parker. He came back with 29, but Horizon still faltered, 55-51, to La Jolla Country Day.

Jad Itani (University, Irvine): Dishing out 15 assists, Itani got plenty of return passes as he scored 19 points in leading the Trojans to a 74-69 win over Corona del Mar in the Pacific Coast League.

Khalil Kelly (Los Osos, Rancho Cucamonga): It's a good thing Kelly was up to the challenge against Rancho Cucamonga as he scored 35 points to go with 21 rebounds in an 87-84 Baseline League victory.

Derriq Knaules (Encina, Sacramento): Knaules dropped balls through the hoop with ease in a 77-54 victory by Encina over Highlands of North Highlands. The senior guard finished with 35 points.

Bryce Layne (Hawthorne): It's hard to celebrate, even after you score 41 points, when your team falls as Hawthorne did, 84-76, in a Bay League shootout.

Malik Love (Bishop's, La Jolla): There was no love lost as the Knights' 6-2 guard collected a couple of 30-point games. In a 63-49 win over Coastal South rival Francis Parker, Love pitched in 30 and he came back with 31 more in a 66-36 win over Mater Dei (Chula Vista) in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.

Dominique O'Connor, Jordin Mayes & Dwayne Polee (Westchester, Los Angeles): This trio was responsible for the Comets bouncing back from a 49-42 loss to arch-rival Fairfax (Los Angeles), when Westchester defeated Rainier Beach of Seattle, 75-65, at the Nike Extravaganza at Mater Dei.  O'Connor scored 21 points; Mayes added 19 and Polee chipped in for 13.   

Alex Perez (Otay Ranch, Chula Vista): Collected a season-high 36 points to lead Otay to a 74-67 Mesa League victory over Bonita Vista (Chula Vista).

Juan Ruelas (Parlier): The senior guard scored 49 points to tie a school record as Parlier beat Orosi, 88-31, in a non-league game.  Ruelas also became the 14th player in Central Section history to score 2,000 career points, according to section historian Bob Barnett.

David Ryn (Chester): It gets cold up there in Chester, but this 6-4 junior has kept the community feeling warm with his red-hot shooting. He had 28 in a loss last week to Portola and 18 in a win over Greenville. This week he went for 30 and 13 rebounds in a win over Loyalton and 27 points and 11 rebounds in a victory against Big Valley of Bieber.

Zeve Sanderson (Franklin, Los Angeles): The Panthers have won five straight and Sanderson has been over 20-points in four of the five outings. Last week the 6-foot junior had 20 and 26 points in respective wins over cross-town Eagle Rock and Lincoln, then came back this week with 27 points in a victory against LA's Belmont.  

Marty Scarberry (Academy for Academic Excellence, Apple Valley): A regular with this group, Scarberry went off for 40 points and 16 rebounds as the Knights downed Excelsior (Apple Valley) 70-63 in Agape League play.
    
Kiril Sergeyey (Irvine): Sergeyey's 32 points in a 72-67 victory over Laguna Hills helped keep Irvine's Pacific Coast League title hopes alive.

Jordan Shivers (El Cajon Valley): His 30 points helped the Braves get into overtime against Grossmont but the Braves were unable to stay with the Foothillers in a 60-51 loss in the Grossmont North League.

Renardo Sidney (Fairfax): The big, strong 6-10, 250-pounder who can shoot and put it on the floor, just keeps pounding opponents while he tries to decide where to play this fall. Last week it was 28/12 against Palisades, 33/12 against LACES, 26/22 with four blocks in a 49-42 win against Westchester that avenges one of the Lions' three losses this year; 19/9 against Whitney Young of Chicago; and this week already he dropped in 31 points with nine rebounds against University of Los Angeles.

Brandon Smith (De La Salle, Concord): It's almost impossible for one of Coach Frank Allocco's players to make the stat stars, since the grind-it-out style, ball-sharing philosophy and lockdown defense played by the Spartans, rarely allows for an offensive outburst. Still, Smith makes it for two reasons. He had a double-double, and did it on the biggest stage yet. In front of a national audience on ESPNU at the Nike Extravaganza at Mater Dei, the 6-goot Cal-bound guard had 10 points and 11 assists and took control in a 64-38 dismantling of Dominguez of Compton.

Derron Smith (Banning): The standout grid-hoop athlete had two outstanding efforts last week, but they weren't enough to keep the Broncos from dropping two Mountain Pass League games. First, against Tahquitz, Smith scored 26 points, had 15 rebounds and six assist as Banning fell, 74-72. He then followed with a 30-point, 11-rebound, 9-assist game against undefeated league leader Notre Dame of Riverside in the Broncos' 82-77 overtime loss.

Justin Smith (Immanuel Christian, Ridgecrest): The size of the school isn't as important as its players as Smith scored a career-high 36 points to deliver ICS a 74-56 win over Big Pine in Hi-Lo League play.

Michael Snaer (Rancho Verde, Moreno Valley): Snaer was his usual high-scoring self with 31 points but didn't get enough help as his team suffered its first Inland Valley League setback of the season, 62-59, to Ramona (Riverside).

Charles Standifer (Capital Christian, Sacramento): The Div. IV all-state candidate stayed on a roll with 33 points and eight rebounds for Cap Christian in its 59-43 triumph over Marysville.

Anthony Stover (Windward, Los Angeles): A main reason why Windward is No. 1 in the state in Div. V is Stover dominating the middle. In a 74-49 win last week over Montclair Prep, Stover had 24 points, 16 rebounds and 10 blocks. He almost triple-doubled again when the Wildcats beat Crossroads of Santa Monica, 73-56. He had 20 pts, 17 rebounds and eight blocks.

Jeremy Tyler (San Diego): Though they struggle against California's best, the Cavers still own the section when they play at home as the 6-11 junior poured in 34 points in an Eastern League 77-61 conquest of Morse (San Diego) before coming back with 29 against Eastlake (Chula Vista) in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. Oh yes, he had 25 in another league win over Serra (San Diego), 64-50.

Damon Williams (Mira Mesa, San Diego): On fire from beyond the arc, Williams hit six three-pointers as part of his 38 points in leading the Marauders to a 54-44 victory over Serra in San Diego Eastern League play.

David Wilson (Wheatland): Pirates' 6-3 senior had a solid outing with 25 points and nine rebounds against Orland then came back just as strong with a 19/19 point/rebound performance earlier this week against Williams, both victories. By the way, this small-town boy leads the Northern Section in scoring according to Maxpreps.com with a 22.6 PPG

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Okungbowa Aiwelchoe (Monterey Trail, Elk Grove): It was a bittersweet night for Aiwelchoe, who rampaged for season highs of 31 points and 29 rebounds, but it wasn't enough as Monterey Trail fell to Laguna Creek of Elk Grove, 76-72.

Michelle Anaya (Washington, Easton): She scored 30 points against Liberty of Madera Ranchos in a North Sequoia League game that the Panthers won, 78-16.

Karina Angulo (Indio): Angulo's 16 rebounds helped the Rajahs rally to a 52-41 victory over La Quinta in Desert Valley League play.

Alisha Belt (Carson): Helped Carson belt a couple of Marine League foes last week. Belt scored 20 and had 14 rebounds in a 58-36 win over Banning (Wilmington), then added 21 points and 13 boards against King-Drew in a 61-48 victory.

Marreon Belt (Silverado, Victorville): Her 15 rebounds, 18 points and six steals led the Hawks past Barstow, 57-33, in Desert Sky League play.

Gennifer Brandon (Chatsworth): Another one of the big-time Cal recruits coming in this fall, this senior 6-3 power forward/post continues to dominate opponents and some good ones at that, with consistently solid outings. Against El Camino of Woodland Hills, she had 23 points and 15 rebounds in a victory, 24 points and 20 rebounds against Harvard-Westlake (Sherman Oaks) and in a 51-40 victory over Taft of Woodland Hills that avenged an earlier loss, Brandon had 24 points and 19 rebounds.

Jenny Cavellier (St. Joseph's Academy, San Marcos): Rolled in 32 points to lift St. Joseph's to a 61-32 win over Escondido Charter in Citrus West League action.

Aunjanay Chambers (Valencia): Pulled down 20 rebounds to go with 22 points in a 68-57 victory over Cypress. It was Valencia's 26th consecutive league victory.

Lashia Clarendon (Cajon, San Bernardino): Although Clarendon was the game's leading scorer with 28 points, it simply was not enough against the state's No. 1 team, Mater Dei (Santa Ana), as the Cowgirls fell, 64-56, at the Nike Extravaganza.

Raeshel Contreras (Encinal, Alameda): Senior guard had 27 points and eight assists in a 59-38 victory over Kennedy of Richmond.

MacKenzie Cunningham (Coast Union, Cambria): Cunningham led the way with 10 steals which helped her score 16 points in a 54-30 win over North County Christian (Atascadero). In all the Broncos collected 31 steals.

Dominique Dinner (Monterey): It's been a couple of weeks since we checked in on what Dinner has been dining on. Last week she figured why not feast on Monta Vista Christian of Watsonville with 29 points and six steals but the team lost 55-54. The bill of fare was better later in the week. She only had 27 points with eight steals but the Toreadores won 62-39. Finally, she had dessert earlier this week with 30 points in a 66-51 win against Pajaro Valley (Watsonville), the sixth time she's had 30-plus in averaging 25.3 PPG, tops in the Central Coast Section.

Tia Dixon (San Diego): The Cavers boys aren't the only ones with a good team as Dixon, who scored 32 against Serra in a 76-53 Eastern League win over Serra (San Diego), is one of three freshman starters.

Jenn Dupper (Mesa Grande, Calimesa): Poured in 30 points in a 63-19 Victory League game against outmatched Desert Chapel (Palm Springs).

Heather Foley and Joanna Hernandez (Beaumont): Foley tore down 15 rebounds and Hernandez pitched in 28 points to lead Beaumont to a 62-25 win over Rubidoux (Riverside) in Mountain Pass League action.

Stephanie Golden (Miramonte, Orinda): One of the late Darrell Hirashima's favorites both at Miramonte and the Orinda Magic, and one of the better underclass post players in Northern California, the 6-4 junior went for 27 points and 11 rebounds in a 75-49 victory over Dougherty Valley of San Ramon.

Samantha Hansen (El Toro, Lake Forest): Like the long-running TV show, her 20-20 (points and rebounds) were a success as El Toro collected a 53-42 win over Northwood (Irvine) in Sea View League play.

Jordan Henry (Ursuline, Santa Rosa): This sophomore Bear had a season-high 34 points, shot 8 of 15 from beyond the arc, had 15 rebounds and five steals, but unfortunately it wasn't enough in a 68-56 loss to Ukiah. Two nights previous the 5-7 guard had 20 points eight rebounds and six assists in a 64-60 win against cross-town Montgomery.

Kim Iverson (Christian Life, San Diego): Single-handedly out-scored Escondido Adventist as she poured in 34 points in the 57-24 Citrus West League victory.

Atoe Jackson (Narbonne, Harbor City): Jackson just dominated the boards, as she has done the entire Marine League season, pulling down 21 (scoring 17 points) in a 47-35 win over Banning (Wilmington) after grabbing 15 caroms (13 points) in a 41-23 win over Gardena.

Sara Khalafi (Torrance): Teaming with Tori Caporaso (five three-point field goals), Khalafi tore down 19 rebounds and scored 12 points in a 53-41 Pioneer League win over Lawndale.

Ashleigh King (Kearny, San Diego): A 5-4 guard, King has led the Komets in scoring, including 33 points, in a 68-40 victory over Madison (San Diego) in San Diego Central League play.

Ariel Mars (Ayala, Chino Hills): While 19 points usually isn't enough to make this list, scoring that many while leading the Bulldogs to their 13th straight Sierra League title with a 61-31 win over Diamond Bar ain't bad.

Terilyn Moe (Terra Nova): This young lady looked good over the summer and actually was the fifth ranked freshman out of only seven frosh that made the list of over 200 girls evaluated in the 2008 CalHiSports.com Girls of Summer rankings. Last week the 5-7 guard, who plays like the energizer bunny, had 26 points, 10 rebounds, six steals and six assists in an 80-50 win over South San Francisco. She came back with another double-double 21 points and 10 rebounds against Westmoor (Daly City) in a 57-55 nail-biter. She started a three-win week for the Tigers with 17 points in a 66-51 win against Jefferson of Daly City.

Kerah Natividad (Citrus Hills, Perris): Natividad's 15 rebounds and 11 points helped catapult Citrus Hill past Heritage (Menifee) in Mountain Pass League, 53-40.

Lauren Polansky (Branson, Ross): Many players get double-double's in their high school career, and a few get triple double's, but rarely does a prep hoopster ever record a quadruple-double like this point guard did earlier this week. Not only that, but she didn't do it against some stiffs, and she played the entire 32-minutes to lead her two-time defending Division V state champion Bulls to victory. With CalHiSports.com in the stands, and almost needing an abacus to keep up with her, the 5-9 Princeton-bound Polansky was everywhere, finishing with 11 points, 12 steals, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in a 57-48 victory on the road at Marin Catholic (Kentfield), the No. 6 team in Division IV in the state. Overall, her numbers are astonishing. Playing against top-notch competition, Polansky is averaging 13.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 8.5 steals and 6.5 assists per game.

Chaunise Powell (Newark Memorial, Newark): Got in amongst the big girls but got it done in a 57-52 victory over arch-rival Logan of Union City. The 5-7 junior point guard had 25 points and 15 rebounds.

Jasmine Ray (San Bernardino): It was another couple of days at the office for the Southern Section's leading reported scorer according to Maxpreps.com. In respective 57-28 and 84-30 wins over San Bernardino's Pacific and Arroyo, the junior guard had a double-double of 30 points and 11 rebounds (six steals, seven assists), and a triple double 27 points, 10 rebounds, 13 steals and added five assists. It didn't raise her 28.5 PPG scoring average however.   

Andrina Rendon (St. Paul, Santa Fe Springs): Collected 16 rebounds to go with 20 points as the Swordsmen downed Dana Hills, 70-42, at the Nike Extravaganza. Lauren Shute's 25 points weren't near enough for the Dolphins.

Kelsie Sampson (South Torrance): Collected 15 rebounds to go with 16 points in a 52-40 Pioneer League victory over El Segundo.

Dominique Scott (Palisades, Pacific Palisades): It gets a little foggy out near the coast but this 6-2 senior forward hasn't been in one at all this season. Last week in a 39-37 razor thin win over Sierra Canyon of Chatsworth, Scott had most of the numbers herself with 22 points and 19 rebounds.

Janae' Sharpe (Rialto): This sophomore guard must like the number 29. Last week she hit that point total in both games, wins over Fontana and Yucaipa. Two weeks ago she had that many points and in a win over cross-town rival Eisenhower. Three weeks ago she had 29 against Miller of Fontana. The difference is last week Sharpe had double-doubles with 11 and 10 steals respectively. By the way, she's been over 30-points four times as well, and is averaging 25.7 PPG for the 21-2 Knights.

Sylvia Shepard (Alta Loma): Nice double for Shepard as she scored 33 points in addition to sweeping down 12 rebounds to lead the Braves to a 68-57 win over Upland in Baseline League action.

Lindsay Sherbert (Great Oaks, Temecula): Needing a win to clinch the Southwestern League title, Sherbert stepped up by scoring 30 points and collecting 11 rebounds in a 63-40 victory over Murrieta Valley.

Jenna Sherman (Granite Hills, Apple Valley): Sometimes monster stats just aren't enough to produce a win. You'd think that Sherman's 23 rebounds, to go with 13 points, would give her club an edge but it was Burroughs (Ridgecrest) that prevailed, 51-46, in the Desert Sky League.

Brooke Silva (Los Banos): She looks like a lock for the Modesto Bee All-District team as well as All-Merced County and had another strong outing last week with 34 points and 10 rebounds in a 61-46 win over Atwater.

China Smith (West Adams, Los Angeles): This 6-1 forward, who dominates the small prep schools in the Los Angeles City Section, was more like fine crystal last week, going for 42 points, 25 rebounds and 10 steals; 29 points 20 rebounds and eight steals; and 24 points 18 rebounds and 10 steals in blowouts against Los Angeles, Santee and Bravo respectively. She only had 10 points, 11 rebounds and five steals against Contreras. What happened? Another blowout.

DeNesha Stallworth (Pinole Valley, Pinole): She couldn't deliver the victory in a 62-50 loss to re-vamped Berkeley but it wasn't due to lack of effort. The Cal-bound post played all 32 minutes and finished with 36 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks.

Tabitha Torres (Corcoran): Stat star regular from the Central Section scored 30 points against Woodlake. Corcoran won by the score of 58-21.

Taijuan Walker (Yucaipa): Walker dominated inside as she swept down 21 rebounds to go with 23 points in a 65-57 Citrus Belt League triumph over Riverside East Valley (Riverside).

Cierra Windham (Norco): Although it was far from Windham's best game of the year, her 19 points allowed her to set the school career scoring record which she now hold with 1,779 points. Norco downed Big VIII foe Roosevelt (Eastvale), 73-37, to cap Windham's big night. She broke the record previously held by Erica Arriaran, now at the University of Texas. 

Hannah Womack (Liberty Christian, Redding): Another girl that looked good over the summer at a camp in San Diego is this 5-5 sophomore point guard. Last week she went for 30 points and six assists against Mercy of Red Bluff, the fourth 30-point or more performance on the season. Saturday, at the Bentley Shootout, she had 20 but the Patriots lost to Castilleja of Palo Alto.

Emily Writer (Laguna Beach): After a 51-point effort earlier, Writer scripted out a major upset as she scored 32 points to go with 10 rebounds as the Waves denied Estancia (Costa Mesa) a share of the Orange Coast League title…at least for one more game.

Melissa Zornig (Santa Margarita Catholic, Rancho Santa Margarita): The 5-9 guard/forward scored 30 second half points on her way to 33 points (eight rebounds, three steals, three assists) to lead the Eagles to an upset victory over Villa Park. The effort was the biggest single point production in the girls' games at the Nike Extravaganza at Mater Dei. Earlier in the week she was near her 23.1 PPG average with 24 points in a loss to Lutheran (Orange), but under it with only 12 in a loss to top-ranked Mater Dei. 

Eve Zelinger (Castilleja, Palo Alto): The individual star of the Bentley Shootout in Lafayette had 33 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in an impressive 62-39 victory over Liberty Christian of Redding.

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.

Luis Bidart (Christian, El Cajon): The Brazilian foreign-exchange student scored a season-high 39 points in leading the Patriots to a 57-53 non-league victory over Calvin Christian of Escondido.

Jon Baird (Sanger): The 6-1 senior guard scored a career high of 33 points and made six three-point field goals against Reedley in a County/Metro League game that the Apaches won, 72-59.

Marcus Beaird (Bear Creek, Stockton): The most consistent and explosive scorer in Stockton, Beaird keeps improving his scoring average even when the Bruins lose. In a 68-60 loss last week to Franklin of Stockton, the 6-3 senior scored 37 points.

Roderick Bobbitt (Castro Valley): Bobbitt did everything he could with a game-high 23 points, but the Trojans still lost for the first time at home in two years, dropping a 61-53 to state-ranked San Leandro.

Eric Brown (Dana Hills, Dana Point): His 12 fourth quarter points gave him 30 for the game and led the Dolphins past Capistrano Valley of Mission Viejo, 63-57.

Joseph Burton (West Valley, Hemet): "Big Joe" tore down 27 rebounds to go with 20 points and seven assists in a 79-57 Sunbelt League rout of Paloma Valley of Menifee.

Jamar Cannon (Redondo Union): Drained nine three-point field goals en route to a 31-point performance in leading Redondo to a 70-58 Bay League victory over Palos Verdes.

Ivor Clayton (High Tech, San Diego): A 5-11 junior, Clayton went off for 38 points but it still wasn't enough as Escondido Charter outscored High Tech by 14 in the final quarter in its 67-61 Frontier League victory.

Yevgeniy Dyachanko (River City, West Sacramento): One of the leading scorers in the Sac-Joaquin Section at more than 23 ppg, Dyachanko was dynamite with 38 points and 10 rebounds as River City defeated West Campus. Look for more on this athlete later this week.

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.

Craig Fisher (Brawley): It seemed like every time Brawley needed a basket, there was Fisher, who scored 32 points in a 69-61 Imperial Valley League victory over Southwest of El Centro.

Andre Fowler (Reseda): The Regents sixth man scored 18 of his 22 points during a 28-4 run as the Regents defeated visiting Sylmar, 90-85, to take control of the Valley Mission League.

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. 

Montreal Harris (Twentynine Palms): Surpassed 2,000 points in his career with 25 and also surpassed 1,100 rebounds during a 91-56 De Anza League victory over Yucca Valley.

Already this week, in a 68-48 victory over Santa Rosa, Herold burned the nets for a season-high 38 points, with 13 rebounds and four blocks.

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.

Kawhi Leonard (Martin Luther King, Riverside): All-state wing player had a dominant week for state-ranked Wolves. 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.

Peter Papageorge (Burlingame): Scored a game high 25 points to lead the Panthers to their 12th-straight win in a 56-41 victory over San Mateo.

Nefi Perdomo & Greg Brown (Skyline, Oakland): Pedomo had a game-high 26 points with nine rebounds and six assists and Brown added a double-double 20 points and 14 rebounds as the Titans won a wild 71-67 double overtime game against Oakland Tech. 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. Down 60-59 in the final minute of OT, Sabia hit a long three-pointer to give the Pirates the lead for good at 62-60. He finished with 28 points, including three closely-guarded three-pointers and added 10 rebounds, three blocks and three assists.

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.

Anthony Smith (South San Francisco): The 6-3, 205-pound power forward exploded for a season high 34 points with 10 rebounds in a 74-50 victory over Jefferson of Daly City.

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. He also had 21 rebounds in that game and last week also had 33 points in a 77-41 win vs. Golden Sierra of Garden Valley. He is now averaging more than 25 ppg.

Chase Tapley (Sacramento): Remember him from last year's CIF Division III final vs. Santa Margarita? The dynamic guard hit for 33 points last week as Sac High beat McClatchy of Sacramento, 83-53.

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. Tyler scored 37 points, including 11 slam dunks, and pulled down 14 rebounds while limiting Chol to four points and eight boards in a 76-66 win that gave the Cavers undisputed first place in the Eastern League.

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.

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.

BOYS BASKETBALL:

Tony Baldocchi (Cardinal Newman, Santa Rosa): He's not the only reason Newman is currently 16-0, but he's a major reason. Last week with 20 points in a win against cross-town Piner and 22 in a win on the road at Rancho Cotate, Baldocchi earned the Santa Rosa Press Democrat boys athlete of the week. The 6-1 senior guard is currently averaging 19 points per game.

Moises Barrera (Pacifica, Oxnard): Barrera did all he could do, scoring 31 points, but it wasn't enough as the Tritons suffered a 76-73 double overtime loss to Oxnard in a Pacific View League showdown of unbeaten teams.

Marcus Beaird (Bear Creek, Stockton): He rippled home 35 points in yet another sterling effort, but it wasn't enough as the Bruins were beaten in a league game, 67-64, by Lodi.

Sean Boston (Banning, Wilmington): The Pilots always love to triumph over their archrivals the Carson Colts and Boston played a big role in their 48-45 victory with 18 points, 18 rebounds and eight blocked shots.    

Hakeem Bradley (West Ranch, Valencia): Despite his 27 points and 10 rebounds, the Wildcats had their five-game winning streak snapped by Saugus, 70-63. It was the second straight 27/10 game for Bradley who had those same numbers in a 61-49 win over Canyon of Canyon Country.

Tyler Bray (Kingsburg): The big-time junior grid-hooper scored 37 points and pulled down eight rebounds against Central Valley Christian of Visalia, but the Vikings came up short, 68-62, in a non-league game.

Cameron Brjoomi (Van Nuys): Although the Wolves' best player, Victor Rudd, transferred to new West Region power Findlay Prep in Nevada, they received a performance from Brjoomi that is as good as any Rudd had last year as he went for 31 points and 18 rebounds in a 66-50 victory over North Hollywood.  

Jerry Brown (Sacred Heart Cathedral, San Francisco): According to a story in the San Francisco Chronicle, the Irish forward missed his family's annual MLK Day barbeque to suit up on Monday. What he didn't miss was the chance to shine on the hardwood this past Monday at Cal's Haas Pavilion. Fresno State-bound, this 6-foot-7 senior ignited the first boys' game of the day with a 28-point effort in a 77-72 victory over Skyline of Oakland. He scored 16 points in the first half, getting a number of put backs and easy scores while slashing to the basket.

Ricky Cardenas (Cathedral City): Despite having 10 steals and 24 points, Cardenas was unable to do it all by himself as the Lions were edged by La Quinta in Desert Valley League play, 63-59.

Johnny Dee (Rancho Buena Vista): The 5-11 sophomore collected 31 points in a 65-64 upset of La Costa Canyon of Carlsbad. The Longhorns rallied from a five-point deficit heading into the final quarter.

Laurence Degracia (Southwest, San Diego): The Raiders, who are proving that their basketball program in no way resembles the winless football team, got 34 points from the 6-foot-1 senior en route to a 71-42 South Bay League victory over Castle Park of Chula Vista.

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

Jamaal Franklin (Serrano, Phelan): The same week Franklin announced he would be signing with San Diego State, he had a monster game against Hesperia but it wasn't enough to prevent Serrano from having its 34-game Mojave River League streak snapped, 55-50. The 6-5 forward scored 31 points, hauled in 17 rebounds and blocked nine shots and continues to show why he is one of the state's most underappreciated talents.

Kiwi Gardner (Manteca): Had back-to-back 30-point plus efforts to help get the Buffaloes to 15-2 on the season. Last week in a 75-59 victory over cross-town arch-rival Sierra the 5-7 sophomore point guard slashed his way to a season-high 36 points with six steals and five assists. He came back this week with 35 points with eight assists and five steals in an 80-57 victory over Weston Ranch of Stockton.

Davon Harrell (L.A. Adventist): Dueces were wild for Harrell with 22 points and 22 rebounds in a 47-42 victory over Pacific Lutheran. 

Rasheem Harris (Reseda): The regents are playing solid ball and opened up Valley Mission League play with a 95-55 win over Sepulveda Monroe as Harris scored 30 points. 

Lonnie Jackson (Valencia): Jackson netted 30 of the Vikings' 70 points but they still came up short as Hart of Newhall captured the Foothill League win, 75-70.

Harnarinder Johal (Livingston): The 6-foot-5 center made sure his team wouldn't lose two straight Western Athletic Conference games with 32 points in a 72-60 triumph over Patterson. Johal added 18 rebounds and seven blocks in a dominant outing.

John Kaker (Palm Desert): Went 10-of-12 from the line and 9-of-14 from the field for 28 points to lead Palm Desert to an 82-57 win over Indio in the Desert Valley League.

Cody Kessler (Centennial, Bakersfield): He tied his own school record by scoring 42 points against North of Bakersfield in a game the Golden Hawks won, 66-52.

Derriq Knaules (Encina, Sacramento): Jumped up his outstanding season scoring average to 26.0 per game by connecting for 32 points for Encina in a 81-73 win vs. Capital Christian of Sacramento.

Kirk Law (Mid-Peninsula, Menlo Park): The reported scoring leader in the Central Coast Section plays on a tiny Div. V team, but his numbers have been anything but small. Last week in three victories over St. Lawrence of Santa Clara, More of San Jose and San Francisco Christian of San Francisco, the 5-9 senior guard had 31, 26 and 25 points respectively. Law is averaging 21.1 points per game on the 10-6 Dragons.

Reggie Lawson (Hoover, San Diego): On a team with soph sensation Angelo Chol, Lawson stepped up by scoring a season-high 32 points for San Diego's No. 1-ranked team, leading the Cardinals to a 93-51 Eastern League victory over Morse of San Diego. He also had 18 rebounds in the easy win.

Stephon Lamar (St. Augustine, San Diego): In a key 79-76 Western League victory over favored University City, ranked No. 8 in the San Diego Section at the time, the 6-1 senior guard was unstoppable, hitting for 31 points. He added 25 points in a 62-49 win over parochial rival Cathedral Catholic and then pitched in 26 more as the Saints capped a big week by downing St. John Bosco of Bellflower, 55-52, in the Southern California Coaches' Classic at Carlsbad High.

Troy Leaf (Foothills Christian, El Cajon): Surpassed the 2,000-point barrier for his career when the junior scored 27 points in an 83-63 victory over Div. I Eastlake of Chula Vista. Teammate Caleb Hatcher added 22 points.

Brad Lewis (Simi Valley): Had a 32-point performance to lead the Pioneers to a 82-73 Marmonte League victory over Westlake Village of Westlake.

Jules Montgomery (Chaminade, West Hills): The 6-foot-10 Montgomery needed some chiding from Eagles coach Todd Wolfson after some sub par performances and the Long Beach State commit responded. He led Chaminade to four consecutive wins by scoring 114 points, including a career-high 40 points in a 69-55 victory over Verbum Dei of Los Angeles. He added 14 rebounds and five blocked shots against Verb.     

Donnell Phifer (Narbonne, Harbor City): This one is from two weeks ago, but is worth mentioning as Phifer was on fire in a 74-73 win over San Pedro he scored 40 points in the double overtime victory and is shooting over 70 percent from the field so far this season while averaging over 16 ppg.

Josh Ritchart (Forest Lake Christian, Auburn): He's been among the scoring leaders in the Sac-Joaquin Section all season, but last week came through with that rarity of rarities, a quadruple-double, in FLC's 71-56 victory over Delta of Clarksburg. Ritchart checked in with 30 points, 16 rebounds, 10 blocks and 10 assists to reach his quadruple-double.

Noel Rojas (Le Grand): In a 80-64 romp past Delhi in a Southern League game, Rojas was red hot and finished with 41 points. His teammate, Ian Thompson, added 23 points.

Robbie Rowland (Cloverdale): The junior 6-6 forward is becoming a regular to this feature. Last week after his previously netted 30 points against Kelseyville, he finished the week with a 26-point, eight rebound, five assist effort in a close win over St. Vincent's of Petaluma. Already this week he's gone for 21 points and 25 rebounds with four assists in an 89-49 that gets the Eagles to 17-2 on the season. Rowland is now averaging 23.2 points and 13.5 rebounds per contest.

Marvin Samuel (Perris): Samuel was on top of his game as he got the score-o-meter spinning by tossing in 32 points as the Panthers collected an 80-65 Sunbelt League win over Hemet.

Robert Sandoval (Clovis East, Fresno): Pumped in 31 points to help Clovis East up its record to 15-4 with a 84-69 victory over Cleveland of Reseda.

Patrick Scott (Bear River, Lake of the Pines): The standout senior guard hit for 38 points to lead Bear River past Lincoln, 67-62, in a league game. Scott, who had 40 and 38 points in single game already this season, is averaging 26.3 ppg.

Christian Showalter (Valley View, Moreno Valley): When you toss in seven from beyond the arc, you'll likely have a decent game. Showalter did just that, pouring in 37 points to lead Valley View to an 83-66 win over La Sierra of Riverside in Inland Valley League action.

Desmond Simmons (Salesian, Richmond): Two days after Salesian beat Newark Memorial, 58-55, in OT at the MLK Day event at Cal's Haas Arena, it was a big day for the Pride's junior forward. His tip-in midway through the second quarter of a 72-47 road victory at Alameda over St. Joseph Notre Dame put him at the 1,000-point mark in his career. He finished the day with 21 points to climb to 1,016 for his Salesian career and also added 11 rebounds.

Derrell Swanson (Lakeside, Lake Elsinore): The 6-2 junior did all that he could for the Lancers, scoring 35 points, but it wasn't nearly enough as Lakeside fell to Paloma Valley, 78-65, in Sunbelt League play.

Jeremy Tyler (San Diego): Although the Cavers never trailed, they needed a big game from the 6-11 junior center and he produced, scoring 37 points in a 68-61 Eastern League won over Patrick Henry of San Diego. Later in the week he got 25 points in a 63-42 win over Serra of San Diego and after a long plane flight and short turnaround, collected 22 points in a 56-39 loss to Columbus North of Ohio.

Ifeanyi Ume (CAMS, Carson): Ume had a monster game in a 63-53 victory over Paraclete of Lancaster as he netted 19 points and grabbed 20 rebounds.

Brandon Vandenburg (Xavier Prep, Palm Desert): If West Shores of Salton Sea continues to play opponents like this the school may want to consider going back to the CIF San Diego Section. Vandenburg was credited with 25 rebounds which led to his 30 points, as Xavier Prep rolled to a 52-36 victory.

Michael Williams (Taft, Woodland Hills): Nailed eight three-pointers and finished with 29 points to help the state-ranked Toreadors defeat Granada Hills, 81-56. The win was impressive considering some of the victories the Highlanders were able to pull out earlier in the season.   

Kyle Wong (Mills, Millbrae): Has a game-high 23 points as Mills knocked off Hillsdale, sending the previously undefeated squad to its second straight defeat.

GIRLS BASKETBALL:

Annika Awbrey (King's Academy, Sunnyvale): Went over the 30-point mark for the third time this season with a 32-point effort in a 61-36 win over Harker of San Jose that gets the Knights to 7-6 on the season.

In a 77-28 victory over Birmingham, Brandon went for 24 points and 19 rebounds while all-city guard Monica Jackson added 29 points and eight steals. Brandon, a 6-foot-3 post presence headed to Cal, came back and went for 25 points and 28 rebounds in a 47-34 over Granada Hills as the Chancellors upped their record to 11-6.

Layshia Clarendon (Cajon, San Bernardino): Last year's state junior of the year and University of California-bound senior scored 24 points in teaming with Arkansas recruit Darshae Burnside (22 points) to lead nationally-ranked Cowgirls to a 57-50 victory over Etiwanda of Rancho Cucamonga in the Downtown Showdown at the Staples Center.

Dominique Dinner (Monterey): The Toreadores didn't have a game for a couple of weeks, so Dinner had time to rest up and build up her appetite. Earlier this week, she and her mates feasted on Watsonville in a 64-43 victory. Dinner dined to the tune of 39 points and stole the plates from seven Wildcatz girls as well. Her per game average now sits at 25.4 ppg.

Ashley Duffy (El Capitan, Lakeside): It looks like San Diego State will be getting a good one as the 5-foot-9 Duffy tossed in 38 points in a 61-52 triumph over Granite Hills of El Cajon in a non-league game at Granite Hills.

Lauren Engeln (Laguna Hills, Laguna Beach): There wasn't much that Engeln didn't do as Laguna Hills buried Beckman of Irvine, 64-23, in the Pacific Coast League game. Engeln single-handedly outscored Beckman with 29 points, adding eight rebounds and a like number of steals.

Janelle Flores (Palm Springs): Going a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line, Flores scored 26 points and collected six steals in a 50-39 victory over Coachella Valley in Desert Valley League action.

Cassie Harberts (San Clemente): The Tritons continue to impress with Harberts being the focal point in a 64-34 victory over Capistrano Valley of Mission Viejo in South Coast League play. She scored 26 points and collected 10 rebounds in the easy win.

Christine Hobby (Hughson): Playing winless Amador of Sutter Creek inspired Hobby to go for a triple-double and she got it as the Huskies won, as expected, 48-25. Hobby posted 16 points and had 13 rebounds and 11 steals.

Maya Hood (La Jolla Country Day): The 5-foot-10 freshman had a breakout game as the senior less Torreys stunned Mount Miguel, the San Diego Section's No. 2 ranked team, 53-48 in the Elite Classic. Hood had 14 rebounds, seven points, five steals and four assists to allow LJCD to pull away down the stretch.

Sara James (Oak Ridge, El Dorado Hills): The junior guard's reputation as one of the state's top players continues to grow. Facing state-ranked Hanford last weekend, James displayed a multi-faceted game and was impossible to stop. She ended with a game-high 38 points, although Hanford still held on for a 70-68 victory. James is now averaging 21 ppg.

Allie Koualczuk (Williams): This 5-10 senior guard/forward had a season high 29 points with nine blocked shots, eight rebounds and five steals in a 49-30 victory over Maxwell. She's been over 20 points in eight of the Yellowjackets' 13 games and is averaging 20.1 points and 9.8 rebounds per contest.

Kaleena Lewis (Mater Dei, Santa Ana): Big-time players step up in big-time games and that's exactly what this big-time sophomore did. Lewis scored 33 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and handed out five assists as the Monarchs beat Horthampton (Mass.) 75-46 in the Spauling Hoophall Classic at Springfield College. Northampton is the Massachusetts defending Division I state champion.

Stephanie Lopez (Banning, Wilmington): Scored 35 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the Pilots' 48-45 Marine League victory over King-Drew of Los Angeles. 

Jhazmine Lynch & Soulijah Evans (Mater Dei, Chula Vista): In a 63-53 victory over Perris in the Elite Classic at La Jolla Country Day, Evans had 16 rebounds and 14 points while Lynch tossed in 21 points and pulled down 10 rebounds. Mater Dei out boarded Perris, 58-34 as the Crusaders' Ebone Henry added 15 boards.

Carly MacLeod (Packinghouse Christian, Redlands): Collected an impressive triple-double in a 62-23 rout of Temecula Prep in Majestic League play. MacLeod hauled in 15 rebounds, scored 20 points and blocked 10 shots.

Megan Musashi (Flintridge Prep, La Canada): Helped her team bounce back after its 44-game Prep League winning streak was snapped last week with 36 points in a 73-39 victory over Rio Hondo Prep. Musashi also added seven rebounds, six steals, four assists and two blocks, not to mention five three-pointers and a perfect 13 for 13 from the free throw line. She also had a 29-point, six-steal performance in a 67-17 victory over Webb of Claremont. 

Mercedes Pardo (Pioneer, San Jose): Last week Pardo had a solid double-double 25-point, 12-rebound outing in a 48-40 win over cross-town Hill. She came back later in the week with another double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds in a 52-32 victory against Live Oak of Morgan Hill.

Kaitlyn Peterson (Mission Viejo): Scored 20 points in the first half but Dana Hills of Dana Point slowed the Diablos after the break, limiting her to 14 and 34 for the game as the Dolphins rallied to stun Mission Viejo, 66-64 in South Coast League action.

Rachel Porter (Gahr, Cerritos): Porter is strong on the glass and she displayed her rebounding abilities in a 59-44 victory over Dominguez of Compton. She grabbed 20 rebounds and scored 17 points and came back with 21 caroms and 20 points in a losing effort (72-54) against Culver City.    

Tara Puccioni (Ursuline, Santa Rosa): Last week in a 75-68 victory over cross-town arch-rival Montgomery, the junior guard poured in a career-high 30 points. Her reward was being selected the Santa Rosa Press Democrat girls athlete of the week.

Niveen Rasheed (Monte Vista, Danville): Although she had a fine season last year, leading the Mustangs to the East Bay Athletic League title, this Princeton-bound guard has recently gotten more exposure, and with it, stamped herself as one of the top all-around players in the Bay Area. Last week in a 69-28 victory over California of San Ramon, she had 21 points. In another road victory, 69-47 over Livermore, the 6-foot Rasheed, who studies ballet and dance, and also previously played soccer, danced and twirled her way to 25 points and 17 rebounds in 23 minutes of action. She saved her career performance, however, for Jan. 21 with CalHiSports.com in the stands and against new league rival, state-ranked Carondelet of Concord. Of her game-high 22 points, 17 came in the first half when Monte Vista built a 33-12 lead en route to a 53-42 victory. To go with the 22 points, she had 17 rebounds, seven steals and four assists.

Talia Rayford (St. Mary's Academy, Inglewood): Went for 17 points, 18 rebounds and seven steals in a 66-19 Santa Cruz League victory over St. Genevieve of Panorama City. In a 86-45 victory over St. Matthias, Rayford had another solid all-around game with 15 points, 17 rebounds, five steals and three assists.        

Keilani Ricketts (Archbishop Mitty, San Jose): On a team with five players 6-2 or taller, the 6-3 Oklahoma-bound softball hurler turned power forward led her team to a big 56-44 win over WCAL and cross-town rival Valley Christian; a game in which the Monarchs' size was too much for the Warriors. She only scored 14 points, but Ricketts pulled down 15 rebounds and blocked four shots. In the fourth quarter, she even popped a three-pointer from the top of the key and drew nothing but net.

Denesha Stallworth (Pinole Valley, Pinole): She was a bit under the weather last week when Berkeley knocked her Spartans out of the state rankings with a 44-39 defeat. She still had a triple-double, 13 points and 10 blocks, but the double and triple-teaming of the Yellowjackets held her to 12 points and only four free throws in the second half of the loss. Stallworth, the state's leading scorer with a 30-plus point per game average, came back strong in a 67-37 defeat of Alhambra of Martinez at the 12th Annual Martin Luther King Classic at Haas Arena, finishing with 36 points and 14 rebounds.

Gizelle Studevent (Bishop's, La Jolla): Bound for Penn State in the fall, Studevent poured in 33 points to single-handedly outscore Francis Parker of San Diego in an 89-20 Coastal League South victory. Teammate Inga Orekhova added 22.

Megan Sweet (Frontier, Bakersfield): Just a sophomore, Sweet was sweet with a career high of 34 points against Highland of Bakersfield in a non-league game. Frontier won the game, 78-33.

Sara Villanueva (Poly, Sun Valley): Netted 35 points in a 59-52 East Valley League victory over  North Hollywood.

Danisha Williamson (Mount Miguel, Spring Valley): University of San Diego signee collected a triple-double in a 73-30 Grossmont South victory over Valhalla of El Cajon. Williamson scored 26 points, dished out 10 assists and had 10 steals.

Hannah Womack (Liberty Christian, Redding): It's been a tough year for the Patriots, who are 6-9 after playing a lot of big schools before beginning Tri-Cities League play. Last week, the 5-5 point guard, who got good marks in the CalHiSports.com Girls of Summer rankings, had two excellent outings. In a 66-38 win over Westwood, she scored 32 points with six rebounds and four steals. Womack finished the week with a 25-point effort in a 63-39 victory over Dunsmuir. On the season, she's averaging 21.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. 

Allison Wong (Mercy, Red Bluff): Old-time Sacramento Valley farmers used to say it got hot enough in Red Bluff in the summer to fry eggs on the sidewalk. Well, its winter and Wong is blazing, and the result is the Warrior girls are 11-3 at the midway point of the season. The Northern Section's leading scorer at 26.5 points per game was actually under her average last week with 21 points in a 49-38 victory over Chester. So far this year, the 5-6 guard has a 52-point high water mark in a win against Etna and a 43-point outing against Lower Lake.
