Mater Dei 70, Villa Park 50 --The LA Times' Ben Bolch covered this game for the Times:   "The Spartans (14-2)  fell behind, 24-6, early in the second quarter after a prolonged shooting slump and never recovered against the Monarchs (13-4). Villa Park missed all seven of its three-point attempts in the first half. Wesley Washington scored 16 points on four-of-five shooting and had 12 rebounds for Mater Dei, which shot 50% from the field and took a 28-point lead early in the fourth quarter. Mike Strawberry added 14 points and cousin D.J. Strawberry had 10. Sean Phaler, who converted eight of 19 field-goal attempts, had 22 points for Villa Park, but 14 of those points came in the second half with the game already out of reach."   The Orange County Register's Steve Fryer, who also covered the game for his paper, had this to say about the game: " The way Mater Dei coach Gary McKnight has it figured, the Monarchs need to do only one thing to be successful. "I told the guys to just play hard," he said. "Good things happen when you play hard."  Enough good things happened Friday night for the Monarchs to beat Villa Park, 70-50, at The Pyramid at Long Beach State in a nonleague game between two of the highest-ranked teams in Orange County.  Second-ranked Villa Park (14-2) had previously lost only to Capistrano Valley in the championship game of the Anaheim Convention Center Holiday Classic.  No. 4 Mater Dei improved to 13-4. The Monarchs have won six in a row since losing three in a row for the first time in McKnight's 20 years coaching at Mater Dei. Mater Dei's Wesley Washington, a 6-foot-3 junior guard, enjoyed one of his best games. He led the Monarchs in scoring with 16 points, and in rebounding with 12. Mike Strawberry added 14 points and D.J. Strawberry 10.   Sean Phaler led Villa Park with 22 points. Villa Park's difficulties began early. The Spartans made their first shot of the first quarter, and their last - but missed 17 in between. Mater Dei was hardly sharp early, too, as the Monarchs' first six possessions resulted in five missed shots and a turnover. They righted themselves soon, getting plenty of fastbreak baskets to create a 16-6 lead at the end of the quarter. Mater Dei led by 19 points at halftime despite the absence of Harrison Schaen for much of the half. He picked up his second foul midway through the first quarter and his third early in the second. The Monarchs expanded their lead to 26 points at the end of the third quarter. Mater Dei plays host to Servite in their Serra League opener Wednesday. Villa Park opens Century League play Tuesday at Orange."

Horizon 74, Carlsbad 33--  Carlsbad,  fresh off winning the National Prep Classic, never led, trailed 13-2 after the first quarter, had just eight points by halftime and didn't reach double figures until 6:54 remained in the third quarter.  Carlsbad's (14-3) Derek Stockalper, a 6-foot-5 guard/forward who is committed to USD, played sluggishly and finished with 10 points -- the only Lancers player in double figures. He hit just two field goals and was an uncharacteristic 4-of-8 from the free throw line.  Horizon (12-3) was led by Nate Carter who scored 30 points, including a spectacular second half when the 6-7 senior hit from outside, ran the break, passed, rebounded and threw down two dunks -- one a tomahawk slam off a fast break and the other to convert an offensive rebound. Horizon's Ryan Read and Bena Veikalas each scored 14 and Jared Dudley added 11. Veikalas and Read also hit a pair of three-pointers.

Torrey Pines 54, El Cajon Christian 34-- It took a little more than a quarter to figure out the Patriots (7-7), but Torrey Pines (13-1) gained control early in the second period and maintained its lead with tight defense and opportunistic offense.  Avi Fogel guided the Falcons on offense, scoring 13 points, and his defense led to some easy baskets. Josh Kramer and Rod Benson were strong inside with 10 points each, while J.J. Brull added nine. Benson led the team in rebounds with eight.  Christian opened against Torrey Pines in a rare tough zone defense, which slowed the Falcons in the second quarter, allowing the Patriots to tie the game at 14. Torrey Pines recovered with a patient offensive scheme and waited for the open shot. In the second half, Christian focused on stopping inside penetration so much that it didn't pressure an outside shot.   The Falcons worked on their defense because they faced 6-foot-10 Moulaye Niang, Christian's standout center. Niang uses his frame to take control from under the basket.  However, Benson and Ryan Neff combined to cover Niang and make him a non-factor. Niang grabbed only three rebounds and scored three points. His only field goal came in the final minute of the contest against the second string.   The Patriots were led by John Wai with 13 points. Niang was in foul trouble early, and sat on the bench the second quarter. He still ended up fouling out at the end of the contest.   Christian 10  6  9  9 -- 34 Torrey Pines 14 13  9 18 -- 54 Christian (7-7) -- Paddock 6, J.Wohlfeil 4, Dowgell 2, Wai 13, B.Wohlfeil 6, Niang 3.

We're not exactly sure where the "Pacific Baptist Athletic League" is based (and we thought we knew all there was to know about every high school league in SoCal), but apparently the Riverside Press-Enterprise believes it's a high school league, because they reported some scores in their January 5, 2002 (web-based) boys' basketball roundup.  Here's what the Press-Enterprise had to say:

Pacific Baptist Athletic League

Wildomar Faith Baptist 65, Santa Ana Bethel Baptist 44 -- Faith Baptist (4-0, 15-0) -- Beil 22, Applegarth 10, Cook 9, Goddard 6, Spearman 13, Barnard 3, Marrujo 2. Bethel Baptist (2-3, 6-7) -- Fournie 9, Chisum 5, Meguerditchian 14, J.Hilo 8, R.Hilo 8.  Halftime score -- Faith Baptist 31-22. Three-point goals -- Cook, Fournie, Meguerditchian 2. Total fouls -- Faith Baptist 15, Bethel Baptist 13. Fouled out -- none.

The San Diego North County Times also reported on this game, so apparently these two schools really do exist and so does the league.  Here's what the NCT said about the game:  "Bethel Baptist, Faith Baptist remains undefeated after cruising to a Pacific Baptist Athletic League win.  Brett Beil led Faith Baptist (15-0, 4-0 league) with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Floyd Spearman chipped in 13 points and 14 boards while Dave Applegarth finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Faith Baptist does not return to action until Jan. 18."

Again, we can't recall ever hearing about these schools or this league (and it's hard to believe we haven't yet heard about a team which is 15-0 & 4-0 in league), but apparently they do exist.....
