Basketball: When it comes to basketball, are we always going to talk about the same teams? PHS and Muir?
As usual, the top 10 rankings will more than likely start with Pasadena on top, but what about everybody else? Temple City lost the San Gabriel Valley's highest scorer in James Chen; Alhambra is doing without coach Joe Petralia who retired after nearly three decades at Alhambra; Monrovia and La Salle are young this season, and was Keppel a one-year wonder or can they be counted on as a basketball school?
LAST YEAR'S REGULAR-SEASON FINAL RANKINGS
1. Pasadena (19-5); 2. Temple City (15-7); 3. Alhambra (16-8); 4. Monrovia (16-7); 5. La Cañada (18-6); 6. Flintridge Prep (16-6); 7. Keppel (15-9); 8. La Salle (13-11); 9. Marshall (16-6); 10. Blair (12-9)
=================================
There never seems to be a shortage of good girls basketball teams, is there? Monrovia and Muir advanced to the semifinals of the CIF-SS Division III-A playoffs. The Wildcats mounted an amazing comeback after trailing by 22 points, and then-freshman Gina Hendreson dropped 38 points. Muir lost in the final seconds to Inglewood, and if not for those two losses we have ourselves an all-WSGV final. Keppel met its nemesis in Bishop Amat early in the playoffs, and you know La Cañada is always tough and disciplined with Tamar Hill at the helm.
LAST YEAR'S REGULAR-SEASON FINAL RANKINGS
1. Muir (18-3); 2. Keppel (15-10); 3. Monrovia (15-5); 4. La Cañada (18-6); 5. Pasadena Poly (17-4); 6. La Salle (14-9); 7. South Pasadena (14-9); 8. Alhambra (13-9); 9. Rosemead (10-10); 10. Flintridge Prep (13-10).

Excellent brief and this article helped me alot. Say thank you I looking for your information….
The recession is all Obama's fault. He spent all of our money of the "failout" and now we're broke and no one wants to help us.
And don't count out the Lady Vikings this season. They've got a strong team and have gained some new players who bring more talent to the team.
I hope La Canada can rebound after last season.
Blair, Monrovia, and Temple City will be difficult as always.
The Monrovia Boys are going to surprise alot of people this year....
Blair opens at Blair against The Crenshaw Cougars..New energy around the campus with a new coach who played under Tim at Iowa St. so you know he's defensive minded and they are getting after it ! Crenshaw, carson and south torrance at Blair. Go gettem vikings !
