Boys Hoops: Taft could be getting stronger

According to basketball scout Gerry Freitas, who is based in San Jose, Jordan Gathers from Loyola of Los Angeles will enroll at Taft of Woodland Hills and start classes Sept. 9.

Gathers would be another talented player for coach Derrick Taylor to have at his disposal as the Toreadors try to knock off Westchester of Los Angeles, Crensahw of Los Angeles and Fairfax of Los Angeles in its quest for a third City championship.

Gathers averaged 11 points per game for the Cubs last year while missing seven weeks with a shoulder injury.
