We know next to nothing about the Valley League and therefore we're not offering any real insights into the teams which have competed in this league in the past, with the exception of Valley Torah, which continues to be a team which will likely take the league title again and which will probably find itself in Division V-A or V-AA of the revamped playoff divisions this year. In fact, Valley Torah was the only team that we had a roster for this year until Kevin McCloskey, the coach at San Gabriel Academy e-mailed us his roster and a short preview of his program. We also have schedules of some, but not all of the teams. We encourage coaches to send us their official rosters (via e-mail, not on the message board, please) and any other information about their teams so we can update the previews and rosters as the season progresses.

Torah-- 8-0, 13-5 (1st) "Wolves" Players on the 2001-02 team will be: Eran Adison 6'-1" Jr. F. Valley Torah made it to the second round of the V-AA playoffs last season, beating Villanova Prep in a first round game and then losing to Rolling Hils Prep in the second round. |
Valley Torah Coach: DID NOT SUBMIT SCHEDULE |
| Pilibos--6-2, 10-6 (2nd) no roster available, only a schedule. They made it to the second round of the V-AA playoffs last season, losing to Santa Clara, but we have no idea who is returning. |
Pilibos Coach: Sarkis Balian N 29 @ Providence |
| AGBU--4-4, 8-10 (3rd) AGBU also made it to the V-AA playoffs last year, losing in the first round to Whitewater. We don't have a current roster, so can't say who is returning and who isn't |
AGBU Coach: Hagop Halladjihn N 21 Shalhevet |
| San Gabriel Academy Here's the roster for the 2001-02 season: Chris Dominguez 6’2"
Sr. PF We also heard from Kevin McCloskey, the head coach at San Gabriel Academy, and in addition to letting us know about the school's new website which has a section for basketball, he also had the following to say about his team: We have the best boys team SGA has ever fielded, and these seniors will set records for most wins in a four year span and hopefully playoff berths and a league championship. Having said that we are just an average team as compared to some of the top teams in our division. If we remain in Division V-AA we will compete but if moved up to IV-A we probably can't compete with the elite teams there. So all in all we are looking forward to a great year by our standards (we just moved into CIF 5 years ago) and we have some big games against St Francis and Price etc. If we start winning them then maybe we will get excited, but for now we just hope to get past the first round of the playoffs."

| SummitView--dnr Like Coutin, Summit View didn't report their results from last season. We have no idea who will be there this year, but at least they submitted a roster to the CIF. |
Summit View Coach: Joel Babbitt D 05 Westview |
| Coutin--dnr We haven't got a clue. They didnt' make the playoffs, didn't report their season results to the CIF at the end of last season, and didn't submit a schedule to the Southern Section office. Hey, if they don't care, then we don't have the time to research who is there either. |
Coutin Coach: DID NOT SUBMIT SCHEDULE |
| Glendale Adventist Academy No playoffs last year and no roster this year either. Schedule is from the CIF-SS office. |
