[Note: These are the program notes we wrote for the Official Best in the West Program. We know for a fact that many of the team profiles were edited to save space in the program. So, we thought we'd at least make some use of the original material by posting it up here. Additionally, with some of these teams, we've already done previews here at SoCalHoops, and where they exist, we'll link to them.

Jordan HS (Los Angeles, CA): LA Jordan Coach Ron Quiette returns seniors Tyrone Riley (6'-7" Sr. C/F), Marcus Hooper (6'-3" Sr. F), Clifford Skannal (5'-9" Sr. PG) Dontre Johnson (6'-4" Sr. G/F), and junior Darryl Preston (6'-1" Jr. G) from a team that last season finished 19-10 and in second place in the former Southeastern Conference to be seeded as the 14th out of 16 teams in the crowded City Championship playoffs. Jordan's unfortunate seeding made them the first victim for Crenshaw. This season, with the City Section virtually wide open, they hope to challenge for a City title. The team is largely new, but they'll have a lot of senior leadership to go along with the nine underclassmen on the team.
