BOYS' BASKETBALL: Taylor already making impact at St. John Bosco

Derrick Taylor's presence at St. John Bosco following a successful tenure at Taft has attracted two of Southern California's elite boys' basketball prospects to transfer to the Bellflower school.

Isaac and Daniel Hamilton from Crenshaw have transferred to St. John Bosco, looking to help the Braves improve on a 21-9 record last year, when they advanced to the Southern Section Div. IV-AA quarterfinals.

Isaac, a junior, and Daniel, a sophomore, helped Crenshaw reach the City Section Div. I quarterfinals last season.

"It's great to build a program around superstars," Taylor said.
