Recently, Rob Stone sat down with Coronado hoops coach Toler Goodwin to discuss their upcoming league games. RS:  Who are your top players? Our top players are Sr. Lauren White and Jr. Janie Ruttert. RS:  What are the team's strengths? TG: We believe our calling card is defense. We do a sound fundamental job playing man defense.

RSI: ROB STONE INTERVIEW WITH JUDY SPOELSTRA

Recently, Rob Stone sat down with Francis Parker hoops coach Judy Spoelstra to discuss their upcoming league games. RS:  Who are your top players? JS: I would say right off the bat there were a couple of players that established themselves as leaders on the court. Jazzy Brooks Jay Redmond Jenell Anderson However, in the last couple of games we have had four players in double figures scoring.  Balance is great! RS:  What are the team's strengths? I would say our defense is one of our strengths. We have multiple looks that we can show and we have been able to keep teams from scoring easy buckets. Our anticipation skills have gotten better and with that we create some offense for ourselves. RS:  What are the weaknesses? JS: I think the fact that many of them are new to basketball and just really need a lot of repetition at rebounding, defensive stance, running through sets so they know them like the b...

We also have two off the top shooters in the county in Irwin and Smith, Lloyd and Moore was top of the top 5 re bounders in the County.    Once we get the pieces to all mesh we will be fun to watch.

THROWBACK TUESDAY: UC CENTURIONS SPEARED BY SERRA CONQUISTADORS

BY ROB STONE SEPTEMBER 2011 The University City (UC) Centurions suffered a tough 27-13 loss to the Serra Conquistadors in a non-league football game at Serra last Friday, Sept. 23. UC jumped out to an early 7-0 lead when senior running back Jordan Green gathered in a six-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Jack Minnick with 6:06 left in the first quarter. With the score all tied up at 7-7, Green got into the end zone once again, this time on a touchdown run from three yards out to give the Centurions a cushion of 13-7 with 4:35 remaining in the second quarter. Unfortunately for UC, that was as close as they would get as the Conquistadors would pull away and clinch the victory in the second half. With the loss, the Centurions saw their record fall to 2-2 on the young season. Meanwhile, senior running back Kenneth Martey matriculated the ball 55 yards on eight carries, but it wasn’t quite enough as the La Jolla Vikings (1-3) were shutout 34-0 by the St. Augustine ...
