The CIF State Championship Bowl Games will remain at Home Depot Center through the 2012 season, the state office announced today.
It's a good site for the event -- plenty of parking, good seating. The scoreboard is a soccer scoreboard, though. Press box seating is cramped (but you don't care about that). Otherwise, it's a good place.
Other places that were in the running: Bakersfield College’s Memorial Stadium, Buchanan High School in Clovis, Los Angeles Coliseum, San Jose State University’s Spartan Stadium, and Stanford Stadium.
How I voted on this week's OC boys basketball top 10 poll ...
St. Patrick's of New Jersey 91, Taft of Woodland Hills 64.
It was not that Taft is bad, but more that St. Patrick's is a great team.
That's all from the Nike Extravaganza -- 14 basketball games played over two days.
One more week of the regular season remains, then it's on to the playoffs! Playoff seedings and first-round pairings will be released on Feb. 14, and at ocvarsity.com immediately (as usual).
After three quarters -- St. Patrick's of New Jersey 71, Taft of Woodland Hills 47.
St. Pat's is excellent ... the kid going to Duke, Kyrie Irvine (6-3, G) is quite a player.
St. Patrick's of NJ 39, Taft of Woodland Hills 33 ... Michael Gilchrist of St. Patrick's is rated the top junior in the nation. He made a great drive to the hoop, in which he was fouled but still muscled it in.
This is the final game of the two-day Nike Extravaganza at Mater Dei.
End of first quarter: St. Patrick's of NJ 24, Taft of Woodland Hills 15
Mater Dei: Tyler Lamb 26 points, Keala King 21 points, Gary Franklin 17 points, Max Hooper 14 points (w/four 3-pointers)
Bishop Gorman: Shabazz Muhammad -- a soph -- 29 points.
Gorman made 18 turnovers, to Mater Dei's 9.
Final score was Mater Dei 82, Bishop Gorman of Las Vegas 76.
Mater Dei 82, Bishop Gorman of Las Vegas 76
It was a very good game. Excellent players on both teams. Too many fouls, though, in the final four minutes made this one go on forever (OK, not really forever, but too long).
Mater Dei is No. 11 and Gorman is No. 12 in USA Today's national rankings.
Final stats when I get them.
Next up: St. Patrick's of NJ vs. Taft of Woodland Hills
