SoCal High School & Prep Report

Pasadena Area Hoops Review for
Week of January 16-23--(January 27, 1998)

The Pasadena Herald-Tribune may not publish every day, and they only update their site once a week in fact when it comes to prep sports, but even so, they feature a pretty good review of the past week's events. Here's their report from this last week, broken down so it's a bit more readable and understandable:

PACIFIC LEAGUE:

MUIR:

Muir, the class of the field, improved to 4-0 (15-5) with victories over Hoover, 67-47, and Glendale, 71-45. Darrell Rowe had 19 points against Hoover and 12 against the Nitros. Nate Johnson added 12 and 14. The Mustangs have outscored their league opponents by a 29.2-point margin.

PASADENA:

Pasadena topped Arcadia, 53-34, and lost to Hoover, 72-60 to fall to 3-1 (12-9). The Bulldogs had a 19-point lead (36-17) before halftime and led 54-42 at the beginning of the fourth quarter in which Hoover scored 20 unanswered points. Kevin Richards combined for 27 points in the two games and George De Johnnette contributed 24.
