Boys Hoops: La Caada, Flintridge Prep to play in Southern California Shootout on Saturday at APU.

I’m off this weekend as I usually am, but there are quite a few games going on Saturday that I really want to make it out to. In girls soccer, Flintridge Sacred Heart and Alverno play at noon at Glendale College. The game was initially scheduled for Monday, but the steady rain flooded the turf field at Glendale College. Also on Saturday, the Southern California Shootout at Azusa Pacific promises to be a treat. The area schools kickoff the showcase with Flintridge Prep taking on Baldwin Park at 9 a.m. and Brea versus La Caada at 10:30 a.m. The showcase takes place at Felix Event Center. Our Steve Ramirez earlier this week wrote that the tournament is becoming one of the better one-day events in local high school basketball. The tournament’s organizer, Gordon Hamlow, tries to keep it a local affair, and he’s done a great job doing just that this season. The tournament features 13 teams ranked in the CIF-Southern Section polls. Baldwin Park, for example, is ranked No. 7 in Division 2A. Flintridge Prep is ranked No. 3 in 5AA. La Caada is ranked No. 12 in 3A. The rest of the schedule: Diamond Ranch vs. Murrieta Valley at noon; Upland vs. Vista Murrieta at 1:30; Walnut vs. Glendora at 3 p.m.; Los Osos vs. Ventura at 4:30; Oxnard vs. Colony at 6; Damien vs. Etiwanda at 7:30; and Rowland vs. Ontario Christian at 9 p.m.
