April 16, 2015 Page 5 Hawthorne Continues to Dominate Leuzinger With Sweep By Joe Snyder Photos by Joe Snyder Hawthorne High’s baseball team enters the Ocean League with good confidence after rolling over cross town rival Leuzinger in two non-league games last week. At Hawthorne on April 7, the Cougars routed the Olympians 11-1. At Leuzinger last Thursday, Hawthorne recorded a 12-0 shutout. In the first game, Carlos Jacobo sparked the Cougars, who improved to 7-5-1, by going three-for-four with three runs batted in. Brandon Brown was three-for-four with two doubles, one RBI and three runs scored. He also stole four bases. Andy Monarrez was the winning pitcher going five innings. The game stopped there due to a coaches’ agreement. He allowed one run and three hits. David Oliver drove in the Olympians’ only run with a double. Tony Ruiz scored on the hit. Last Thursday, starting pitcher Charles Phelps and winning reliever Jesse Garcia combined for a two-hitter. Monarrez drove in a run with a double and Max Riley had a two-run double. Leuzinger was plagued with eight errors. “Everybody played hard,” Hawthorne assistant coach (to head mentor Jeff Hines) Chris Robles said. “They (the Cougars) did what they had to do.” Oliver had a double in the bottom of the sixth inning. “We just fell behind and couldn’t catch up,” Leuzinger head coach George Pech said. The Cougars began the Ocean League at Santa Monica last Tuesday. Hawthorne hosts the Vikings, one of the league favorites, today at 3:15 p.m. The Cougars host Beverly Hills in Ocean play next Tuesday at the same time. Over the past few seasons, Hawthorne made the CIF-Southern Section Division IV playoffs from the Ocean but with the addition of traditional power El Segundo, things will be a lot more competitive. Many observers tab the Eagles, Santa Monica and Culver City as top contenders for this year’s league title. After struggling in the always highly regarded Bay League over the past several seasons, Leuzinger, which has not won a league game in six years, will not have it that much easier in the always tough Torranceschool studded Pioneer. The Olympians opened league against West Torrance, which is among the favorites in the Pioneer and currently ranked third in the CIF-Southern Section Division IV, at home Wednesday. Leuzinger visits the Warriors Friday at 3:15 p.m. West is 13-5 overall and won the always tough El Segundo Tournament earlier this season. The Olympians continue Pioneer action at defending Southern Section Division IV champion Torrance next Wednesday at the same time. The Tartars are rebuilding and struggling after their first CIF title but always have very good talent. Leuzinger enters league with a 2-10 record with wins against Compton Dominguez 14-0 on March 19 and Inglewood Animo Leadership 5-4 on March 31. Both victories were at Leuzinger. Lawndale Lands Two on Al-CIF Lawndale High’s boys’ basketball team had two players make the all-CIF Southern Section Division IIAA team, named recently. On the squad included seniors Chimzie Metu and Broderick Jones. The six-foot-10 center Metu sparked the Cardinals by averaging 16 points and 12 rebounds per game. Metu was also the Ocean League’s co-Most Valuable Player with Chance Commanche of league champion Beverly Hills. Metu will play his college basketball at University of Southern California in the fall. Jones, a guard, averaged 15 points and made numerous three-point baskets for Lawndale. Sources are that Jones will be playing at Division I university Cal State Northridge next season. Over this past season, Lawndale tied for second place with Santa Monica in the Ocean League. The Cardinals advanced to the Division IIAA championship where it lost in double overtime to Anaheim Canyon 103-98 in overtime on March 6 at the Honda Center in Anaheim. Lawndale blew a 28-point lead it had late in the third quarter in that contest. The Cardinals made the California State Division II playoffs where they lost in the Southern California Regional finals to eventual state champion La Mirada 49-40 on March 21 at the Long Beach State Walter Pyramid. The Matadors went on to edge San Jose Archbishop Mitty 71-70 in two overtimes for the state crown on March 28 at UC Berkeley’s Haas Pavilion. Leslie Gets Elected to Hal of Fame Former Inglewood Morningside High girls’ basketball standout Lisa Leslie was voted into the Basketball Hall of Fame on April 6. Leslie, regarded as one of the top female basketball players ever, helped the Lady Monarchs win back-to-back California State Division I championships in the 1988- 89 and 1989-90 seasons. Among her biggest highlights in her prep career was scoring 101 points in the first half of Morningside’s Ocean League game against South Torrance as the Monarchs surged to a 102-24 halftime lead during her senior year. The Spartans refused to come out in the second half ending the contest there. Leslie continued to play at University of Southern California before playing in the Women’s Basketball Association with the Los Angeles Sparks from 1997 until her retirement in 2010. She keyed the Sparks to back-to-back WNBA championships in the 2001 and 2002 seasons. Leslie was the league’s Most Valuable Player three times. The six-foot-five center-forward also was a big factor in the United States women’s basketball team’s four gold medals in 1996 (Atlanta), 2000 (Sydney, Australia), 2004 (Athens, Greece) and 2008 (Beijing, China). Leslie will be inducted at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. from Sept. 10-12.. • Hawthorne High’s Andy Monarrez swings in last Thursday’s nonleague baseball rivalry against Leuzinger.
