Kiwanis champ should emanate from Redlands
The 50th San Bernardino Kiwanis Basketball Tournament begins today at Cajon and San Gorgonio high schools. Redlands (10-0) looks like the favorite, but Redlands East Valley (9-2) has some talent and could meet the Terriers in the title game.
Three dark horses to make the title game are Cajon, San Gorgonio and Sultana. They all have middling records, but have enough ability to make an impact.
The Terriers, the only program to have played in the previous 49 Kiwanis tourneys, will be especially tough to beat this year. They have stars such as Tristan Kirk and brothers Josh and Matt Green. They're smart and quicker than you might imagine.
The Sun will provide numerous features throughout the tourney, including a player profile, the Top 10 all-time tourney title games and the 30 top players in tourney history.
