CIF-SS Small Enrollment Division Preview:
Harbor League 2001-02--(Nov. 1, 2001)

HARBOR LEAGUE
Lighthouse Christian
New Roads
Price
Ribet Academy
Rolling Hills Prep

We thought when we posted our Heritage League preview that we had things correctly aligned. Little did we know that several CIF-SS schools had gotten together and formed a few new leagues and among them was the new "Harbor" league.  Since it's a new league, there's no defending champion, and there's no clear outright contender in our view.  This league has the potential to be one of the more competitive small school leagues, and it will actually have three defending league champs among its members (Price from the old Coastal Life League, Ribet from the Heritage League, and Rolling Hills Prep from the Express League).  Top players to keep an eye on this season include Oscar Edwards and Derrick Williams from Price, Thomas Woods from Price and Curtis Allen from Rolling Hills Prep.  

Harbor League Rosters

Harbor League Schedules

Price--23-3, 7-0  (1st)  "Knights" (State Champs--D-V)
Paul Simon  5'-9" Jr. G
Schuyler McKay  6'-2" So. G
Brandon Herron  6'-4" Sr. F/G
Khalief Washington 6'-5" Sr. F
Delbert Gordon 5'-8" Sr. G
Samuel McDonald  6'-2" So. G
Oscar Edwards 6'-4" Jr. F
Derrick Williams  6'-4" Jr. G/F (transfer from Campbell Hall)

Price is the defending State Division V and CIF Southern Section Division V-A Champions.  They graduated a lot of talented players last season, including Chris Alexander (Cal State Fullerton), and just escaped a number of close playoff games last season.  While this team will be talented, Ribet and Rolling Hills Prep will give them a run for their money.  Keep an eye on Oscar Edwards and junior Derrick Williams, a top transfer from Campbell Hall.

Ribet's schedule submitted to the CIf leaves something to be desired, and we're guessing that it's not complete.  Still, they will play in some very interesting tournaments including the Fresno Christian Tournament, which will feature most of the top D-V teams in the state.

Kyle Rose 6'-5" Sr. F
Kris Stricklin 6'-2" Jr. F
Ryan Walton 5'-7" So. G

Brett Danna 6'-0" Jr. F
(graduated only 2 seniors)

Rolling Hills Prep has some of the best young players and could provide a stiff challenge to Price in league competition.  Curtis Allen is a legitimate prospect and will be one to keep an eye on this season.
