EL CAJON (4-6-13) — At first glance of the Girls' 2013 East County All-Star rosters things looked a little lopsided before tip-off.

Grossmont Hills League, led by Granite Hills superstar and East County Sports.com Player of the Year, SKYLAR WILLIAMS, was paired with a handful of Wolf Pack teammates that helped her over-match the Grossmont Valley League on paper and on the court.

West Hills' EMILY COLE stole the show, scoring 21 points on 7-of-14 shooting from the field, including four shots from behind the arc.

Cole also threw gas onto the coals during the 3-point shootout, winning it convincingly and added even more fuel to the fire by taking home the MVP honors in an 85-57 Grossmont Hills victory in the 15th annual EastCountySports.com All-Star Showcase at El Cajon Valley High School Friday (Apr. 5).

Cole's Wolf Pack teammate, JESSICA SCOTT, posted a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds and Williams added 11 points along with 7 boards and 5 steals to easily secure the 28-point triumph.

In addition, the third quarter ended on a half-court basket by Valhalla's KANDICE KALASHO.

Scott and West Hills classmate MARTIN PANAYOTOV paired up to take home the 2-ball hardware.

The 6-foot-1 sharp-shooter scored an EastCountySports.com All-Star scoring record with 42 points, taking home the Most Valuable Player honors, leading the Grossmont Valley League to a 140-129 victory over the Grossmont Hills League in a barn-burner.

The season that wouldn't end
All-Star Game, 3-point shooting
contest, both go into overtime

LAKESIDE (3-31-12) — Unlike the boys’ all-star finale, the Grossmont Hills League girls took Friday’s (Mar. 30) East County Sports.com encounter into overtime before claiming a 60-58 triumph at El Capitan High's Foster Gymnasium.

During a two-minute overtime session, Granite Hills’ HAILEY GARNER and West Hills’ JENESIS HAYES hit a free throw apiece, giving the GHL All-Stars their margin of victory.

El Cajon Valley’s CHELSEA BALL, who scored 14 points and grabbed 23 rebounds for the Grossmont Valley All-Stars, earned Most Valuable Player Awards despite the setback.

The post-season awards have mounted up for Mount Miguel's SHAY YOUNG and Granite Hills' JESSICA HARRIS. Each won Player of the Year in their respective leagues, but Young was the SDCIF recipient.

So in the girls 3-Point Contest it seemed only fitting that the dukes would duke it out against each other one more time, but this time it would take a little more time than expected.

Young crushed the competition in the opening round with an 11 spot. For Harris it wasn't as easy as she had to win a 3-way playoff to advance into the finals.

Then the fun began.

Harris went out and put up a 7 spot and looked dead to rights once Young sat on 7 with 18 seconds left in her round. Only needing one more swish for a title she just couldn't find the stroke she needed and overtime was called.

With 30 seconds on the clock Harris notched an impressive 6, but Young hung right with her making 5 of her first 7 shots, but then it was deja vu as she went cold again. As the scoreboard buzzer sounded Young was just short and put her hands on her head and yelled in agony as Harris hoisted the trophy.

Mount Miguel's Booker named MVP
in 20-point romp by Grossmont Valley

LAKESIDE (3-31-12) — Five players dipped into double figures as the Grossmont Valley League All-Stars dunked the best from the Grossmont Hills 86-66 in Friday’s (Mar. 30) 14th annual East County Sports.com Senior Boys All-Star basketball at El Capitan High.

MVP MARCUS BOOKER of Mount Miguel directed the charge as the GVL galloped to a 29-14 first quarter lead and never looked back.

Booker finished with 11 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and one steal for the winners. Monte Vista’s K.J. HOUSTON added 11 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals for the winners.

Clearly the highlight of the evening were the extra activities – three-point shooting contest and the dunking derby.

When it comes to sheer excitement, there was Monte Vista's REUBEN NWANDO...and then there is the rest of the field. The 6-foot-2 guard has a 45-inch vertical jump and has spent the entire season dazzling crowds not only with his dunks, but with his rebounding and shot-blocking skills as well.

So when the field was forced to face off with the slamboyant Nwando in the Slam Dunk Contest, it wasn't really a fair fight.

After breezing into the finals scoring 59 out of a possible 60 points as judged by a trio of basketball aficionados he had one last trick up his sleeve for the finals.

BRIAN VALADEZ of Helix went first and on his initial attempt of a two-handed windmill failed, he gathered himself and went back up with it. Failing again would all but call the fight and knowing so his windmill didn't quite blow any breeze as he kept the motion tight, ensuring he made the dunk.

Mount Miguel's 5-foot-11 Booker then mysteriously took the floor and stood just in front of the basket facing it. Nwando charged toward him and in perfect sync Booker tossed it up as Nwando completely jumped over him and threw it down with two hands to send the crowd into pandemonium.

When he finally came back down to earth he turned to see a perfect score of 30 as he then posed for pictures with the Slam Dunk trophy in hand.

In the boys 3-Point Shootout, the odds on favorite heading into the event was East County's leader marksman on the year El Capitan's TYSON KYGAR, who netted 177 treys in the regular season and playoffs, but the underdogs made plenty of noise to throw a wrench into those plans.

With 60 seconds to shoot, Booker led the event off with a solid score of 12 treys in the first round. Foothills Christian's ANDRE JOHNSON then had the local fire stations on standby when he made his first 7 attempts and ended with a ridiculous round of 17.

The final two contestants were the crowd favorites as the Vaqueros' crowd welcomed Kygar and AUSTIN BETTS to the floor. Halfway through their rounds they were both stuck on 6 and it looked as if the end was near. Betts finished off with a round of 9 to claim 4th place in the event, but Kygar got hot...blazing hot. His nailing 10 treys in the last 30 seconds wasn't a surprise to anyone there as he moved into the finals.

Kygar immediately had to take his turn in the championship round and you figured he would be a little fatigued and Johnson would have an advantage, especially going second and knowing what score he needed to win.

That didn't work out too well for Johnson though as Kygar swished 17 more shots and ran his total to an absurd 33 on the day.

After a slow start to his round Johnson sped up his pace and maybe that played a part, maybe it didn't, but only coming up with 12 broadcasted to the El Cap faithful that their poster boy Kygar was going home with the hardware.

Waters quarterbacks GHL hoops stars

SPRING VALLEY (4-10-11) — Versatile DeSEAN WATERS of Grossmont High scored 16 points, grabbed 7 rebounds and made 3 steals as he led the Grossmont Hills League All-Stars to an 80-75 victory over the Grossmont Valley League All-Stars in Saturday’s (Apr. 9) 13th annual East County Sports.com Senior All-Stars game at Mount Miguel.

Waters, who hit 7 of 14 shots from the field, was named the GHL Most Valuable Player.

Granite Hills’ GARRETT LARCH-MILLER, the winner of the 3-point shooting contest, added 21 points and 11 rebounds for the GHL, which also received a double-double of 17 points and 15 rebounds from Helix’ KENNY KEYS.

Grossmont’s MICHAEL WNEK scored some clutch baskets down the stretch to help the GHL snap a 73-73 deadlock. Wnek hit a free throw to break the tie and then landed a bucket to give his team a 76-73 edge. Keys followed with a bucket to make it 78-73 and that all but ended the game.

Wnek nailed a game-high 4 three-pointers, finishing with 15 points.

Christian’s AARON HUESLEIN was the pick for the Most Valuable Player for the GVL, hitting 9 of 13 shots from the floor for a team-high 19 points to go along with 9 rebounds. El Cajon Valley’s DOMINIQUE MILLER added 10 points and a game-high 17 rebounds for the GVL.

In the 3-point shooting contest Larch-Miller nailed 32 treys in the two-round event to edge Waters, who totaled 26 triples.

Scott plays big for the Hills

© East County Sports.com
SPRING VALLEY (4-10-11) — Sometimes it’s hard to believe that a 5-foot-2 guard like Helix High's KIMBERLY SCOTT could dominate an all-star game. But the Highlanders’ go-kart continually beat East County ’s best up and down the court in Saturday’s (Apr. 9) East County Sports.com Senior Girls All-Star game at Mount Miguel.

Scott was named the GHL All-Stars Most Valuable Player after registering a game-high 18 points, 12 rebounds and 7 steals.

Monte Vista’s DEANNA BEMBRY, who corralled a game-high 17 rebounds and 3 blocks, was named the GVL Most Valuable Player.

Mount Miguel’s DANIELLE MILLER had a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds for the GVL. Grossmont’s CHLOE COOK pitched in 11 points and Valhalla ’s DANIELLE WILSON collected 10 rebounds for the GHL.

Probably the most entertaining part of the girls’ segment was the 3-point shooting contest, which took place at halftime. It turned into a shoot-out between Santana’s SAMMY WHITE and Grossmont’s Cook. After two rounds the duo were deadlocked, which took the contest into sudden death overtime. Both girls came up empty in the first two rounds before White connected in the third OT to collect the trophy.

Miller, Larch-Miller headline Saturday's showcase

© East County Sports.com
EL CAJON (4-7-11) – The 13th annual East County Prep Senior Boys and Girls All-Star Basketball Games will be held at Mount Miguel High School on Saturday (Apr. 9).

The girls all-star duel between the best from the Grossmont Valley League will take on the top seniors from the Grossmont Hills League at 5 p.m. The boys battle between the two leagues will tip off at 7 p.m.

Both genders will compete in three-point shooting contests at halftime of each game.

This year’s double-header will feature All-SDCIF Breitbard Girls Player of the Year DANIELLE MILLER of Mount Miguel and All-East County Boys Player of the Year GARRETT LARCH-MILLER of Granite Hills.

The UNLV-bound Miller averaged an East County-leading 22.4 points and 5.4 steals per game, while Larch-Miller, the Eagles’ 6-foot-2 wing man, banged in an East County-best average of 25.3 points, grabbed 8.4 rebounds and dished 3.6 assists per outing.

Coaches in this year for the boys are Granite Hills’ RANDY ANDERSON in the GHL and Mount Miguel assistant coach MARCELLUS JONES – the best dressed mentor courtside – for the GVL in the boys game.

The girls game coaches are Valhalla’s AL SILVA (GHL) and El Capitan assistant JEFF BICKFORD (GVL).

A year ago, Foothills Christian’s TROY LEAF, now at UC Santa Barbara, scored a game record 38 points in leading the Grossmont Hills to a 111-101 victory over the GVL stars.

Like last year, this year’s game will feature four 10-minute quarters for both genders. Leaf was the 2009-10 GHL all-stars MVP, while Monte Vista’s TONY JACKSON was picked the GVL MVP.

In last year’s girls duel, the Grossmont Valley girls won 87-61. Mount Miguel’s DECHAE EVANS was the GVL MVP, while Steele Canyon’s JANVIER BARBARIN earned MVP for the GHL.

Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students. Price of admission covers both games.
