Los Alamitos Tournament

Mayfair 87, Pacific Hills 49 (OT)?--The really puzzling thing about this one, since we weren't at the game is that the box score makes no sense, but it does total to the final score.  There appears to be an extra period, but an overtime is obviously not what happend, because a nearly 40 point differential can't be achieved during an "overtime" in which both teams purportedly scored a combined 22 points.   In any event, the LBPT box says that Stanford signee Josh Childress scored 28 points and Yale commit Edwin Draughan scored 16 to lead the Monsoons over the Bruins in the first pool play game.  Mayfair scoring:Thomas 4, McFadden 5, Chris Childress 5, King 3, McCraw 16, Levia 2, Hawkins 5.  Pacific Hills scoring: Amedu 9 , Radjenovic 2, Gleitman 17, Odo 2, Jordan 8, Hill 2, Amani Daanish 9.  Pac.

AGBU will face Azusa on Wednesday at 6:0O p.m. in a quarterfinal game at Montclair Prep.

Agoura 78, Hillcrest Christian 28-- In a clear and obvious mismatch from the beginning, Agoura dominated from start to finish, holding Hillcrest to just 7 first quarter points, 10 in the second and fourth quarters, and just a single free throw in the entire third quarter.  Not pretty, but it got the job done for Agoura which advances to play Kilpatrick on Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. at Montclair Prep.

The Gorrillas last week beat Providence in the finals of the Providence tournament behind 6'-8" Nick Mark and , while Holy Martyrs won the Bishop Diego-Laguna Blanca tournament, and Windward and Avalon both also appear to be headed for winning seasons.

PG) had 14, Garen Hartunian (6'-5" Sr. F) and Brian Trump (6'-4" Jr. F) each had 9, Eric Kaufman (5'-11" Sr. G) had 4, Charlie Kranzdorf (6'-1" Jr. G) had 3, and A. Hakim (5'-8" Fr.
