Ellias, who was also voted the 2010 Foothill League Player of the Year by the ...

It was only a matter of time for Canyon.

Canyon not only overcame poor shooting, but had to play the first quarter without starting forward Darnel Haggerty, who was left out for disciplinary reasons. Highland led 6-2 by the end of the ...

Prep basketball: Hart staves off Knights
Hart girls basketball doesn't want to settle for mediocre this season. And even after a 52-40 victory over Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks Wednesday night at Hart High School, the team is still critical of itself. "They want to be great, and with that comes great individual responsibility," said Hart head coach Zach Koebel of his players. After last week's fourth-place finish at the Valencia High-Five Classic, Koebel said the team was capable of better. ...
Prep basketball: West Ranch hits groove
Early in the season, some teams are still trying to settle into a groove. In its second game of the year, West Ranch's offense looked plenty settled. The Wildcats dominated Panorama 82-36 in the Canyon Classic boys basketball tournament at Canyon High School on Wednesday. West Ranch (2-0) didn't leave much doubt about the game, quickly and aggressively finding open shots against an overmatched Panorama team. "We were just being unselfish with the ball," said ...
Prep soccer: Canyon done with draws
Amidst a difficult non-league schedule, Canyon boys soccer wanted to get a win under its belt after two straight draws. The Cowboys delivered with authority Tuesday night with a 3-0 win over Crespi of Encino at Canyon High School.

The Vikings (2-2) earned fifth place in the classic with the win. "We run a lot of sets, so it gives us a lot of places ...
Prep basketball: Press slowly hobbles Hart
At first, Hart was taking advantage of Stockdale's aggressive style of defense. The Indians were finding open lanes and shots in transition when they were able to break the press. But Hart couldn't break the press consistently enough, and ended up on the losing end of a 65-47 game in the third-place matchup at the Valencia High-Five Classic Tournament. Hart (2-2) handled Stockdale's full-court pressure defense for the first half, trailing just 23-20 at the ...

Prep basketball: Trinity drops inaugural game
Sometimes, a brand new program has to go through growing pains.

It was Trinity's first-ever game as a varsity boys basketball program as well as the opening round of the SCCS 2010 Tip-Off Tournament.
