Two of California’s leading players for next season who were obvious first team all-state juniors for this season are guard La’Melo Ball of Chino Hills and center Jordan Brown from Woodcreek of Roseville. Photos: James Escarcega & Willie Eashman.
We are tipping off the release of our annual all-state basketball teams with the underclass boys. This means the best of the best among juniors, sophomores and freshmen. These teams last year featured four players from mythical national champion Chino Hills. This year, the Huskies are well-represented again with two honorees. There are eight other schools, however, that also landed a pair: Oak Park, Mater Dei (Santa Ana), San Joaquin Memorial, Mater Dei Catholic (Chula Vista), Capital Christian (Sacramento), Harvard-Westlake (North Hollywood), Alemany (Mission Hills) and Bishop Montgomery (Torrance).
