Adam Hess Westlake High School
Featured in the Ventura County Star and the Thousand Oaks Acorn
- Excerpt from the Thousand Oaks Acorn"Through his first 19 games with the Warriors this season, Hess averaged 18.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and two steals per outing. He’s defending at a high level and shooting 48 percent from the floor, including 37 percent from 3-point territory. The star leads Westlake (12-8 overall, 2-1 in the Marmonte League) into a 7:30 p.m. showdown on Friday at home against Calabasas (12-8, 3-0).
The 6-foot-5 stretch forward has Bill Walton and Henry David Thoreau intertwined in his DNA, but Hess is carving his own path in this world."Jacob Grebeta Simi Valley High School
Featured in the Ventura County Star and the Simi Valley Acorn
- Excerpt from the Simi Valley Acorn"The senior small forward for the Simi Valley High boys’ basketball team, a third-year varsity player, went off like a scoring time bomb as soon as his playing time increased.
The 18-year-old erupted for 41 points, easily a career-high, in the Pioneers’ 77-48 win against Shalhevet on Nov. 26 in the West Valley Tournament."Tyler Clem Thousand Oaks High School
Featured in the Ventura County Star
- Excerpt from the Ventura County Star"Played a decisive role in Thousand Oaks' important 65-58 victory over arch rival Westlake in the Marmonte League opener Friday night. The 6-foot-2 senior guard scored 26 points, including 11 in the second quarter, as the Lancers improved to 12-5 overall and 1-0 in league. Clem also went 6 for 6 from the free-throw line in the final quarter."
Jeff Yows Moorpark High School
Featured in the Moorpark Acorn
- Excerpt from the Moorpark Acorn"Moorpark High’s 6-foot-7 junior center is playing with a newfound aggression after one of the most productive summers of his career.
“He’s matured tenfold since I saw him last year as a sophomore,” first-year head coach Blake Jenkins said. “There’s been times offensively when he gets the ball in the paint and he looks to be a threat. Two years ago, he’d get the ball inside and kind of freak out.”
The Yows of old is gone."
Matthew Elbaum Agoura High School
Featured in the Acorn
- Excerpt from the Acorn"Elbaum is a 5- foot- 10, 155-pound point guard who relentlessly attacks the rim with his speed and herky-jerky dribble drives. As a sophomore, he deferred to standout Ky Feldman, currently a sophomore guard for Syracuse, which reached the Final Four in the spring. Last season, Elbaum played second fiddle to Hudson Miller.
This season, Elbaum must instigate the offense. He’s the team’s most proficient player at creating his own offense."
