Note: The FAB 50 powered by www.ebooksnet.com is a continuation of the National Sports News Service ratings that began in 1952. These were the first national high school rankings and the late Art Johlfs of Minnesota compiled them. They were compiled for many years by the late Barry Sollenberger of Phoenix, who merged them into the FAB 50 23 years ago.

Perry scored 25 points, while senior forward Brady Dunlap was also effective with 19 points vs. Centennial after netting a team-high 18 points in the regional final win over FAB 50 No. 32 St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.). Nik Khamenia, a talented sophomore wing guard originally from Slovenia, made a big impact vs. Centennial and could be an X-factor in the St. Joseph gave as Harvard-Westlake goes for its first CIF open state crown under coach Dave Rebibo. Harvard-Westlake won a state crown in D4 in 2016.

Tuesday victory marked the first time the Huskies had lost to a CIF opponent in 51 outings, dating back to the 2021 spring CIF season when Harvard-Westlake beat Centennial in a pool play game, but like this year, didn’t advance to the CIFSS title game. Centennial is the three-time defending CIF Southern Section open champs, but Harvard-Westlake is heading to Sacramento.

The CIF office, the governing body of both public and private high school athletics in the state, recommended its member sections push back the start date of prep sports programs due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The CIF Southern Section and Los Angeles City Sections, the area that In The Paint co-hosts Ronnie Flores and Devin Ugland cover most often, released an updated sports calendar pushing the football start date for practice back to December and the first contest date to January 8. Football in those sections normally starts in mid-August.

The majority of our In The Paint listeners are of the basketball fan variety and they are going to have to wait quite some time to see some live high school hoops action. The first contest date allowed for Southern Section and City Section programs will by March 12, a time when most players, coaches and parents are in the middle of a playoff run or preparing for club and travel ball season.

On Episode 74 of our In The Paint podcast, Ron and Dev bring on three local high school basketball coaches to discuss how they are dealing with these changes within their program. David Rebibo of Harvard-Westlake, Ryan Meier of Mt. Miguel in San Diego and Reggie Morris, Jr. of Fairfax High in Los Angeles each spend about 15 minutes In The Paint with Ron and Dev.
