I'm sitting in the Torrey Pines High gym right now, where Rocklin (of Northern California) just beat Tacoma Bellarmine Prep, 69-52, in a National Division game of the Maxpreps.com/Torrey Pines Holiday Classic.
Future UCLA Bruin Brendan Lane looked very good for Rocklin. He scored 21 points and probably add 10 rebounds and five or six blocks. He also hit three 3's.
The top vote getter on the Best in the West team, future Washington point guard Abdul Gaddy, played well but didn't have enough around him to beat Rocklin.
Windward and another soon-to-be Bruin, 6-10 Anthony Stover, beat San Jose Bellarmine Prep, 58-54, in an early game here. Stover might have blocked 10 or 11 shots but he is absurdly raw on the offensive end.
Earlier today I was at Cathedral Catholic High, just down Del Mar Heights Blvd. about a mile and a half from here, where Poly (over Leuzinger) and Mayfair (against Cleveland) won in the American Division but Jordan (to Tesoro) lost.
Future Long Beach State post player Kyle Richardson demonstrated his considerable potential for Mayfair with 15 points, 15 rebounds and four blocked shots. Coach Dan Monson and his staff got a steal when they signed Richardson in November.
Since Mayfair and Poly are in opposite brackets, it possible they could meet in the Tuesday night final. But each has a tough opponent to deal with Saturday night.
