HEAD TO HEAD - MATCHUP OF THE WEEK: STEVE SMITH, TAFT FRESHMAN vs. THADDIS BOSLEY, CHATSWORTH SENIOR Bosley, a 6-foot-4 small forward, started at Taft of Woodland Hills before transferring this year to Chatsworth. Offensively, he's a spot-up shooter, effective from 15 to 20 feet. Defensively, he's improved steadily after making the adjustment to a new role and system with the Chancellors. Smith is the most exciting young player in the region, a spectacular mix of athletic ability and energy. He's only a freshman, so he's barely had time to put his game together. Physically he is exceptionally gifted, already possessing the skill to beat opponents off the dribble and get to the basket. When he adds a polished outside game and maturity, he'll be nearly unstoppable. Bosley, eager to play against his former mates, accepts the challenge of stopping Smith, who is second on the team in scoring (16.5), rebounding (6.7), steals and assists. The key is forcing Smith to shoot the jumper The simplest form of an on/off switch. It is just a tiny, plastic-covered metal block, which is pushed onto two pins to close that circuit. It is used to select a myriad of functions on a printed circuit board or on a peripheral device. rather then allow him to drive. That sounds easy, but it's more difficult than it seems. First, Smith has outstanding speed, meaning he can get past a defender no matter how much he lays off. Plus, in Taft's up-tempo game, Smith gets plenty of chances to work in the open court, his strength. UP AND COMER ANGELA VILLELA, Van Gogh Elementary School elementary school: see school.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK ``When I'd practice with them, the older guys on the team would try to punk punk Aggressive form of rock music that coalesced into an international (though predominantly Anglo-American) movement in 1975–80. Originating in the countercultural rock of artists such as the Velvet Underground and Iggy (Pop) and the Stooges, punk rock evolved in me and I'd try to out-do them, so we'd go back and forth like that. It was fun, actually.'' - Taft's Steve Smith on practicing with the varsity football team as a freshman last season.
