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
© East County Sports.com
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.
