[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.

Wilson HS (Long Beach, CA): Coach Quentin Brown's Bruins finished 8-18 last season, fourth in the extremely competitive Moore League (Cabrillo, Clompton, Jordan, Lakewood, Millikan, LB Poly and Wilson) and while they failed to make the CIF SS-Division I-AA playoffs, they're looking at a chance to improve on their prior season record and make a run at a playoff berth. They've had some early season successes already, winning a few preseason contests and picking up some additional wins at the always tough Gahr-Cerritos Tournament and the demanding Los Alamitos Tournament prior to appearing at the Best in the West. The Bruins are led this season by senior guard David Battle (5'-10" Sr. G), nine other seniors, three juniors and just two sophomores. Among the seniors seeing the most time thus far are David Burroughs (6'-2" Sr. F), Brian Johnson (6'-2" Sr. F), Antoine Thomas (6'-6" Sr. C), and Michael Stevenson (6'-4" Sr. F/C). Junior standouts thus far this season are high scoring Jeffrey Terry (5'-11"Jr. G), Kyle Dillon (6'-0" Jr. G), and big man Antonio Price (6'-6" Jr. C). Wilson has also gotten good production from sophomore Terrell Ward (6'-2" So. F).
