El Cajon Valley refuses to roll over

Rally from 20 down to shock Granite Hills

EL CAJON (1-6-09) — El Cajon Valley High already endured one spanking at the hands of Granite Hills, its Madison Avenue neighborhood rival, just a week ago. And now they were down by a whooping 29-9 count with just a minute left in the first half during Monday's (Jan. 5) Grossmont North-South Tournament opener.

This one was going to be even uglier than before.

"It was embarrassing," admitted Braves coach JIM GLEBOFF, who has seen his share on both sides of blowouts in a distinguished career. "But it was a weird game, too -- I couldn't really explain it."

However, El Cajon Valley did something rarely seen. Not only did they rally to take a late lead, they also held on when RAYLONDO FORD sank a game-winning foul shot with no time remaining to take a surprising 49-48 triumph.

Foothillers continue winning ways

SPRING VALLEY (1-6-09) — Even though the Grossmont Foothillers are sporting an 11-3 record, first-year head coach MEGAN LONG is hardly satisfied.

Let’s just say that Long believes her team should be playing at a higher level if it expects to contend for the Grossmont North League championship.

The Foothillers used a 15-4 second-quarter scoring spread to wipe out an early deficit and continue on to a 53-36 victory over host Monte Vista. It was Grossmont’s 5th win in its last six games.

That’s hardly a slump, yet Long was less than enthralled when the visiting Monarchs (6-7) overcame a 9-0 Foothillers lead to take a 12-11 edge after one quarter of Monday’s (Jan. 5) Grossmont Conference crossover game.

RANCHO SAN DIEGO (12-31-08, UPDATED 6:25 p.m.) — GLEN TAKAHASHI, a champion wrestler who built the Valhalla High School program into a state and national power, passed away this morning.

"The wrestling community is going to miss him," said current Norsemen coach MARK GERARDI, who captured three individual state crowns under the tutelage of Takahashi in the mid-1980s. "He was my coach and I learned quite a bit from him."
