Lawndale Gets Eliminated Lawndale High’s boys’ basketball team By Joe Snyder For the first time since the CIF-Southern Section Open Division was installed two years ago, Inglewood High’s boys’ basketball team got its first taste of it. The Sentinels began on a good note by topping host Alemany 76-74 on February 19 in Mission Hills. That gave Inglewood a ticket to a home quarterfinal game against top seed Chino Hills, ranked number-one in the United States, on February 23. The Sents played as hard as they could but the Huskies proved too much for them in a 112-78 rout in a packed gym. Inglewood began the game by staying with the Huskies, who are 30-0 overall after a surprise 102-54 blowout win over traditional power Santa Ana Mater Dei in the semifinals last Friday at Ayala High, but only the first few minutes. Chino Hills took a 27-16 first quarter lead then stretched it to 54-38 by halftime. The Huskies, who use a fast break offense that usually lead to high scoring games, outscored the Sentinels 35-17 in the third period to bring their lead to 89-55 and continued to breeze to one of many easy victories. Chino Hills is known for its four-brother combination behind senior Lonzo Ball, junior Liangelo Ball, sophomore Andre Ball and freshman Lamelo Ball. Liangelo led the Huskies’ scoring with a game-high 41 points, while the UCLA-bound Lonzo added 22 points. Elizjah Scott chipped in 26 points. Lamelo contributed 10. Lonzo also dished out 11 assists. Inglewood was led by Terrell Gomez with 30 points, including six three-point baskets. D’Angelo Smith finished with 16 points and Jordan Bell had 12. In the consolation quarterfinals last Friday, host Inglewood was eliminated from the Southern Section Open Division after being edged by Encino Crespi 69-68. The Celtics took a 26-18 first quarter lead that proved to be the difference in the game. Down by six points (55-49) after three periods, the Sentinels dug in and took a 68-67 lead with about 20 seconds left. Inglewood, though, had a critical foul and Crespi made two free throws to pull out the contest. Gomez led the Sents (21-8) with 24 points, followed by Bell with 16. Inglewood’s season is not through, though. All 16 Southern Section Open Division teams automatically qualify for the CIF-California lost in the CIF-Southern Section Division IIA quarterfinals to host and top seed Santa Barbara 84-69 on February 23. The Cardinals ended their season at 17-12 after placing third, behind cochampions Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, in the Ocean League. The Dons improved to 31-1 after a 62-57 semifinal victory over defending IIA and California State Division II champion La Mirada last Friday at La Mirada. Santa Barbara made the finals as it faces Lynwood Friday or Saturday at the Honda Center in Anaheim. Morningside Loses in Quarterfinals Morningside High’s boys’ basketball team ended its season at 16-12 after falling to La Salle High from Pasadena 67-52 in the CIFSouthern Section Division IVA quarterfinals on February 23 at Morningside. The Monarchs were led by Brandon Anyanwu with 13 points and three blocked shots. Charles Akano had a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Patrick Jeune tallied eight points and nine rebounds. The Monarchs placed only fifth in the Bay League but got the spot in the IVA division and made the quarterfinals. Leuzinger Girls Fall to La Canada Current Leuzinger High head girls’ basketball coach Bo Corona enjoyed success at his previous schools, Playa del Rey St. Bernard and Inglewood St. Mary’s Academy. It took him a little time at Leuzinger but the Olympians made some noise; placing third in the Pioneer League and advancing to the CIF-Southern Section Division III quarterfinals. That’s where the Lady Olympians’ run ended as they fell to host La Canada 55-40 on February 24. The Spartans outscored Leuzinger in each of the four quarters, putting the game away with a 17-10 fourth period. The Olympians, who ended their season at 17-12, were led by Brooke Scott with 14 points, six rebounds and four steals. Rebecca Oderoha tallied eight points and 10 rebounds. Kaaylin Brown put in eight points. In the second round at San Luis Obispo High on February 20, the Olympians enjoyed their long trip with a 59-48 victory. Lawndale Girls Lose in Second Round Lawndale High’s girls’ basketball team made it the second round of the CIF-Southern Section Division IIA playoffs before losing to Mayfair High 46-41 on May 20 in Lakewood. Two days earlier, the Cardinals defeated Northwood High of Irvine 48-34 at home. Lawndale ended its season at 18-8 and finishing second, behind champion Culver City, in the Ocean League. • “rusts” the LDL cholesterol that circulates in the blood. Just as rust can damage machinery, this rust can damage your heart. With someone suffering a heart attack or a stroke every 40 seconds in the United States, the need to educate people on how to defend against the damage caused by oxidized LDL is more important than ever. Unlocking The Power Of Mushrooms For more than 100 years, scientists have known that mushrooms contain a super antioxidant called ergothioneine that can help prevent cardiovascular damage. Ergothioneine is a natural part of the human defense system, and our bodies have a unique, geneticallycoded protein designed to transport and deliver its antioxidant protection to high-stress areas where it is most needed, such as the walls Seniors Unlocking The Heart-Healthy Secret Of Mushrooms (BPT) - Whether it’s being stuck in traffic, missing a deadline or having trouble getting the kids out of bed, the stress we experience comes in many different forms. Often, people think of stress as something you’re immediately aware of: your thoughts become crowded, your breath shortens or you can’t sleep. But there is a kind of stress most everyone experiences, and because there are no outward symptoms, few are aware of how it could be harming their health. It’s called oxidative stress, and it’s caused primarily by the lifestyles we lead. By not sleeping enough, not consuming enough antioxidants in your diet or just being around daily pollutants such as car exhaust, candles or cleaning products, you can be subject to oxidative stress. What makes oxidative stress especially dangerous is both a lack of awareness and the fact that research has found it leads to an increased risk of heart disease. How? Oxidative stress can affect LDL-cholesterol (commonly known as “bad cholesterol”) by transforming it into an even more damaging form: oxidized LDL. Essentially, what happens is oxidized stress or lining inside the arteries. Despite documented evidence of the beneficial role ergothioneine can help with your heart, it’s nearly impossible to get enough ergothioneine to directly impact your health through diet alone. No one has been able to unlock the potential of ergothioneine until now. A Breakthrough Supplement Thanks to a scientific breakthrough by Mironova Labs, it is now possible to harness the power of this super antioxidant in a nutritional supplement. MironovaEGT+ is the first and only supplement to concentrate ergothioneine into an affordable, daily serving to help protect your heart from the damaging effects of oxidative stress.* With the availability of this supplement, the “Dust the Rust Off” campaign has been launched to raise awareness of the benefits of ergothioneine and showcase how it can be a major part of a heart-healthy lifestyle.
