Scores & Recaps: All The
Boys' Dec. 14 Games--(Dec. 15, 1999)

We've tried to get as many of the scores and details of games taking place all over the SoCal area as possible from Tuesday, and we think we've gotten most of them.  The recap for just the scores is listed first; details follow below. If you know of a score or a result we missed, send us an e-mail, or post it up on the message board. For the tournaments, they're organized alphabetically by the name of the tournament;  for non-league games, the best we can do is organize them alphabetically using the first letter of the winning team.

We will continuously update this page throughout the day following the games, so if you don't see a score or the details, check back later. . .
