Calhoun's Fab Five: La Habra vs. Sonora
January 13th, 2009, 8:16 pm · 1 Comment · posted by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004
La Habra (13-5, 1-0) at No. 3 Sonora (15-1, 1-0)
Wednesday, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Is La Habra in the house? The first meeting in the city rivalry has Jordan Sachs and the Highlanders traveling to face Sonora, which is led by guard Chris Bearden.
La Habra opened league play with a 79-53 victory over Buena Park that included a 30-point effort by Sachs.
Sachs is averaging nearly 30 points a night (29.4). Who will draw the defensive assignment on him? Who wants it?
Sonora defeated a tough Sunny Hills team, 55-43, in its opener. Bearden had an off-night shooting (2 of 10 from the field) and finished with eight points, three assists and two steals. He did have 12 rebounds ... and he’s 6-1.
With all the focus on Bearden, it might be easy for opponents to forget about Marcus Farrand, but they shouldn't. Farrand is averaging 16.5 points and has the potential to drop a double-double on you just for showing up.
What a first meeting this is going to be.
If you live in La Habra and you’re not at this game, then you should be ashamed of yourself.

Sonora soundly defeated La Habra. Congratulations to an excellent squad from Sonora. Marcus Farrand had an outstanding game and dominated on the offensive end. And yes, Crhistopher Bearden had an excellent game and all fans enjoyed the few times when Jordan Sachs was guarding Chirstopher Bearden.
