Game Scores & Details From Day Four
12/5/02, Thursday--(Dec. 6, 2002)

Lots of tournament and non-league action yesterday.  Taft's junior guard Jordan Farmar continues with his hot-hand, scoring another 38 points in the Simi Tournament yesterday and is now averaging 41.3 ppg in just three games (for the mathematically challenged, that means he's scored 124 points in three games).  Yesterday he hit 7-three pointers.  We'll see how long this keeps up after the rest of the Taft football players, including Farmar's intended backcourt running mate, Steve Smith returns to the hardwood.

One other note:  On the Stoneridge Prep game the other night, Roger Murray, a sportswriter for the Pasadena Star News-Whittier Daily News, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin chain of papers (which is owned by the same group which owns the LB Press Telegram and the SFV Daily News), has an interesting take on the game.  His conclusion:  The coach of South Bay should have seen it coming when he first agreed to schedule the game against Stoneridge.....Er, um. Ok.  Here's a link to the article.  Interesting, and probably a valid point, but does it excuse or explain what happened?  Let us know by posting your thoughts on the message forum.

Santa Fe 60, Schurr 57--Schurr made 77 percent of its free throws (10 of 13), but the Spartans' numbers were not enough compared to Santa Fe's 28 of 37, and that was the difference in the host Chiefs' 60-57 nonleague boys basketball victory Thursday night.

Lastly, as we noted yesterday, if you want up-to-the-minute scores the day of a game, we suggest you check with us on the SoCalHoops message forums or that you visit the Los Angeles Times' "Preps" section online scores.  The Times publishes and posts scores and limited detail (usually high scorers only) almost within minutes of a score being reported at their internet site which was re-launched last season.  They've got the manpower for such a task, and we're happy to recommend it to anyone with a serious (or even passing) interest in finding a score.   Seriously, this is a great service performed by the Times, which as we all know has plenty to atone for given what they've otherwise done to their prep print page in their various editions of the newspaper, especially when it comes to reporting during the basketball season.    If you have scores to report and want to see them posted within minutes, simply call the Times at 1-800-LATIMES and dial in extension 77151. Of course, you can also submit scores and details to the Times by e-mail to stats@latimes.com, but it's much more reliable to actually call and speak with a live person to insure that the paper gets the details, and it's a lot handier to use a phone than a computer (unless you've got a laptop with a wireless connection).   We also want to suggest that anyone with scoring details contact the other great regional papers in their areas.  All of these various regional outlets provide scores, stats and details, and collectively, they're an invaluable resource if you're interested in a particular area within SoCal.  If you are in the Inland Empire the paper to contact is the Riverside Press-Enterprise at (909) 684-1200.  For Orange County,  call the OC Register at 714-796-7804.  And if you're in any other area, well, there are a plethora of papers to report scores and details to (e.g., Ventura County Star; Santa Barbara News-Press; LA Daily News for the SFV; LB Press-Telegram for the 710/605 corridor; Pasadena Star News; San Bernardino County Sun; Redlands Daily Facts; etc).   And lastly, keep sending them in to us at SoCalHoops by e-mail at jegesq@socalhoops.com. We can't promise to post them as quickly as the LA Times will, but we'll get to them eventually, usually by the next day.
