Last Recap For 1999: Boys' Scores For The Week
December 27-30, 1999--(Jan 2, 2000)

We thought about breaking this up into many different smaller articles, but then we kind of like having the results for the entire week from virtually every single boys' high school tournament involving teams from SoCal all in a single place.  This is a verrrry long file, so if you don't want to scroll all the way through it (if you know the tournament or the team you're looking for), just use your browswer's "search" or "find" function and it will help you get what you're looking for.  Of course, if you just want to browse, that's great too. 

Anyway, here's our monster-sized recap from the final games of 1999 (which, as we all know, was not the end of the last Millenium since there was no year "zero", and thus the new Millenium won't start until Jan 1, 2001, but don't tell anyone. . . .it's supposed to be a big secret. . . ).  There were a ton of tournament games, and just a handful of non-league and even fewer league games.  We've already posted up some reports from a few of these tournaments, and we'll have more to come. . . maybe.  Again, we don't have every game score, but we've got most of them. And in looking at the results from the various tournaments, we were kind of intrigued by just how many teams from the Valley Region made it to the finals and/or won the tournaments in which they participated.  In fact, three Mission League teams (Notre Dame, Crespi, and Chaminade) won all three tournaments in which they played, and two Liberty League teams (Buckley and Providence) made it to the finals; two City Section teams from the Valley battled for first and second (Taft and North Hollywood) in the Eagle Rock tournament, Saugus won the Hart Tournament, and there were countless other teams from the region that participated and played very well. Here's a recap of the top teams in each of the touraments listed below:

Crespi-- Made it to the finals of the Westlake Tournament (finished first)
North Hollywood--Made it to the finals of the Eagle Rock Tournament (finished second)
Taft--Made it to the finals of the Eagle Rock Tournament (finished first)
Chaminade--Made it to the finals of the Chaminade Christmas Classic (finished first)
Buckley--Made it to the finals of the Santa Maria Valley Christian tournament (finished second)
Saugus--Made it to the finals of the Hart Holiday Classic (finished first)
Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks)--Made it to the finals of the La Salle Tournament   (finished first)
Providence--Made it to the finals of the LA Baptist Tournament (we don't know whether they won or lost--the results weren't published)

Some of the high scoring was done by some familiar and some not so familiar names throughout the week.  Here are some of the high scoring efforts that we know about by individual players: 

Jason Tubbs (Ribet)  36 points;   Clint Hamblin (Village Christian) 31 points; Van Duyne (Los Altos) 31 points;   Mmeje (Narbonne) 31 points; Brett Michel (Simi Valley) 32 points; Kyles (Pacific Hills) 32 points; Josaiah Johnson (Montclair Prep) 32 points; Robert Turner (Western) 31 points; Pleitec (Wilson) 34 points; Howard (Price) 34 points;  Munoz (chino) 33 points;  Williams (Stoneridge Prep)  32 points; Lara (LA Banning) 32 points; Danielson (Mary Star) 42 points; JT Leitch (El Segundo) 41 points; Mike Yildiz (Bell Jeff) 38 points; Nick Enzweiler (Campolindo Sacramento) 35 points; Brown (St. Francis) 34 points; Segal (Royal) 34 points; J.

And since we weren't there to witness the last day of the tournament, here's what Louis Johnson wrote in the Long Beach Press Telegram:

Dominguez rankles the rankings
Prep basketball:  Artesia was No. 1 in U.S. but it's the Dons who win the BIW Tournament championship 72-63

By Louis Johnson
Staff writer

With junior center Tyson Chandler playing arguably his best game of the tournament, the Dominguez High boys basketball team knocked off national No. 1 Artesia 72-63 Thursday night to win the championship game o fthe Best int he West Invitational at Long Beach State.

Chandler, considered by some to be the most talented player int he National Class of 2001, had 19 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks through the first three quarters as the Dons, ranked 10th in the country, stormed out to a 51-38 lead after three quarters.

Artesia's taleneted frontcourt duo of Jack Martinez and Amaury Fernandez, who, like Chandler, are among the nation's elite juniors, had only a combined 19 points and 10 rebounds during the same span.

The Pioneers were playing to preserve their newly received No. 1 natinoal ranking this week by USA Today and were hoping to keep the Dons from winning their fourht BIW title in the last six years.

Chandler, who finished with 19 points, at times has not been involved offensively early in games, but he wasted little time making his presence felt.   The 7-foot junior scored six of the Dons' first eight points of the game while being guarded closely by Martinez to help Dominguez take a 14-10 lead. 

Artesia drew even at 16 early in the second  quarter on a transition basket by sophomore guard Franklin Matos.  However, Chandler and senior guard Michah McKinney had back-to-back dunks and after a bucket by Fernandez, Chandler muscled inside for his 10th point of the half to push the Dons' lead to 22-18.

The Pioneers pulled to within 24-22 on a layup by Andre Hazel with 11 seconds left in the half, but the senior guard was called for a technical foul ont he play after taunting a defender.  The Dons took advantage of the miscue, as McKinney made both foul shots and senior point guard Larry Johnson threw in a short jumper just before the buzzer to push the advantage to 28-22. 

Junior forward Amaury Fernandez, after struggling the past two games, was a force in the opening half for Artesia, scoring seven points and corralling six rebounds.

Dominguez received a big lif off the bench from forward Darius Sanders in the first half, as the sophomore contributed four points, five rebounds and solid interior defense.

The two teams will meet again on January 17, at the Pyramid int he marquee game of the Nike Dream Classic.

James Melroy of the Long Beach Press Telegram, covered the rest of the top finishing games for the Press-Telegram, and here are some of the reports he filed:

Poly 61, Clovis West 59--To try to find words to describe the play of Poly senior point guard Wesley Stokes is almost impossible.  But there might be one adjective that would be fitting.  Simply. . . 'great.'

In a matchup o ftalented point guards and top-ranked teams, the Jackrabbits defeated Clovis West 61-59, in overtime of the third place game at the Best in the West Invitational at Long Beach State Thursday night.

Stokes, who finished with 17 points, closed regulatoin with seven points an da pair of steals against opposing guard Chris Hernandez in the final three minutes to help tie the game at 52.

But it was in overtime that Stokes made arguably the play of the tournament.

After Harnandez tied the game at 58 for the Golden Eagles (18-2), ranked No. 13 in the nation by USA Today), Stoks took the inbounds pass with 12 seconds to play, zig-zagged his way up the court with a spectacular behind the back dribble and found center Joe Travis underneath the basket for a layup and a foul. 

Travis converted the free throw for his 17th polint of the night as the Jackrabbits 911-2) held on for the win.  Hernandez finished with 16 points.

* * * *

Bishop Montgomery 66, Ayala 63 (2OT)--Junior guard Erick Craven scored 10 of his 24 points int eh first and second overtimes as the Knights edged the Bulldogs in the fifth place game at the Gold Mine.  Mark McCoy led Ayala in defeat with 19 points.

MVP Ronald Gray (Taft)

Taft and North Hollywood were two of about 10 teams from the Valley region that made it to the finals of one of the many tournaments played last week, and unfortunately for North Hollywood, Taft proved that they are just a lot more athletic, stronger and can dominate when it counts.  Taft won the Eagle Rock tournamnent, and they did it in convincing fashion.  Since we weren't there, we've had to rely on newspaper accounts, and Eric Sondheimer's from the LA Times on Friday, December 31, 1999, was one of the best.  Here's what he had to say about the game:

By Putting On Pressure, Taft Pulls Off Upset
ERIC SONDHEIMER, Times Staff Writer
Playing 32 minutes of intense, relentless man-to-man defense, unranked Taft High sent a message Thursday night that it intends to take its place among the top boys' basketball teams in the region. 

The Toreadors (10-1) routed second-ranked North Hollywood, 62-41, to win the Eagle Rock tournament.  They trapped, they put hands in the faces of North Hollywood shooters, they rebounded and they gave the Huskies no chance.   "I thought Taft played as good as they could play," Coach Rob Bloom of North Hollywood said.  Ronald Gray, the tournament most valuable player, scored 11 points and had 12 rebounds. All-tournament selection Gregg Guenther, playing despite a fever, finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds. 

And then there was the play of freshman Steve Smith, another all-tournament pick. He had 17 points, 12 rebounds and delivered the only dunk in 29 games of the tournament, a thunderous blast at the end of the third quarter that completed a 12-0 Taft surge that put the Toreadors on top by 21 points.  "What can you say about him?" Coach Mark Drucker asked of the 6-foot-1 Smith, who flies through the air as if he has wings. "He's got a winner's attitude. He doesn't hang his head. He's relentless around the basket." 

Taft was supposed to struggle early on because it has several new players, but the Toreadors have won 10 consecutive games since a close opening loss to Pasadena Marshall.  "Nobody in the City or Valley thought we'd be doing as well as we have," Drucker said. "This team works so hard in practice. The things we're trying to teach them they're picking up and it's carrying over to the games."  There's a certain way to play North Hollywood (11-3), which relies on teamwork, patience and ball movement. The Toreadors applied constant defensive pressure. North Hollywood finished with more than 20 turnovers.  "I've said all along we needed to get our butts kicked to wake up," Bloom said. "We have to play our style to win. We can't go up and down the court."  The 6-8 Guenther dominated in the second half, using his size and bulk to overpower the Huskies.  Point guard Derrick McCoy kept the Toreadors under control, and Smith wouldn't let the Huskies rest by leaping repeatedly for rebounds.  "He's the best jumper I've seen in a long time," Bloom said.  Guenther, a transfer from Crespi, said the Toreadors are just playing well as a team.  "We have good chemistry," he said. "Everybody knows their role."

Taft 13 16 18 15 --62
North Hollywood 6 13 7 15--41
Taft scoring:  Gray 11 and 12 rebounds, Guenther 18 and 11 rebounds, J. Smith 4, Stevfe Smith 17 and 12 rebounds, McCoy 1`, Asghari 2, Ezeuka 7, Javaherian 3

Title Game Victory For Redondo Hard

It wasn't as easy as it could have been, but Redondo High boys basketball coach Jim Nielsen will take it just the same.

The host Sea Hawks (10-1) took a two-point lead at halftime and upped the difference three more to edge Eastside Catholic of Washington, 60-55, in the final of the Sea Hawk Classic at Redondo on Thursday.

Ryan Mollins scored a game-high 18 points, including several key baskets down the stretch, as Redondo held off the No. 3-ranked team in the state of Washington.

“Give them credit, they were an excellent team,” Nielsen said. “ They played tremendous defense. They could compete for the league title in our league.”

Mollins gave the Sea Hawks the push they needed, but Nielsen also said Redondo put together a strong team effort.

“(Mollins) made the difference in the game,” Nielsen said. “ We receive so much notoriety that sometimes it goes to their head. When you play solid teams, if you can find a way to win, that's the mark of a good team.”

Mollins was complimented by Tournament MVP Andrew Zahn's 16 points and Walter White's 12.

Price wasn't right for Saints, who lose tourney title game
Boys Basketball:  Undefeated Price Christian cruises to 75-53 victory

By Steve Irvine
Staff Writer

Patience on offense was the only way that the St. Anthony High boys basketball team was going to slow down undefeated Price Christian in the championship game of the Saints tournament on Thursday.

At least that's what St. Anthony coach Joe Luyben stressed in his pregame talk.

However, once the game began, the Saints forgot about the patience and it cost them dearly in a 75-53 loss.

"I was pleading with them to pass th eball more on offense," Luyben said after his team fell to 8-4.  "Against these guys, you can't afford to shoot after the first pass."

That message never sunk in for the Saints, who managed ot make only 24 shots in 66 hurried attempts.  The Saints received 36 poinjts from Pearson Smith and Jared Lloyd, but those two were a combined 16 of 50 from the field.

Price Christian which had scored more than 1000 points in each of its three previous tournament games, butilt a 34-23 lead at halftime behind 14 first-half points by tournament MVP Andre Jones.  But St. Anthony, despite the frigid shooting, slowly climbed back in the game during the thrid quarter.  Lloyd and Smith combined for 16 points and Jay Arizabal's layin with 1:14 left int he period cut the deficit to 44-41.

Soon after, the Saints lost starting forward Robert Terry when he was called for a personal foul and a technical on the same play.  After that, Price Christian (13-0), pulled away by throwing the ball inside to Othel Johnson.   "We worked so hard on stopping (Johnson) and just couldnt' do it," Luyben said.

Johnson had 10 of his 18 points and seven of his 14 rebounds in the final quarter.  Free-throw shooting was another key to the game.  Price christian converted 21 of 30 attempts, including all nine in the fourth quarter.  St. Anthony made only one of its two attempts. 

"I would like to have seen the fouls be a little more even," Luyben said.  "But that is a great team.  This was a great experience for us. It wil definitely help us get better."
