We're now in the middle of the heart of high school basketball season, with teams competing for league titles and playoff berths, and soon the jockeying for seeding in the respective brackets will start as playoffs approach.  Saturday was a light day, with only a few games taking place in SoCal, but we think we've gotten most of them.  Here's what we know, gathered from reports sent to us from team representatives, coaches, players and parents, as well as what we've been able to gather from local newspapers and websites. If you know of a game that we missed, a score that is unreported, or some details that we're missing, send it in via e-mail.
