Hart High might have lost an All-American, but the Indians still are the favorite to win the Foothill League girls' basketball title. ``I'm very confident in my team,'' Hart coach Dave Munroe said, despite the graduation of three-time Daily News Player of the Year Ashlee Trebilcock. The Indians have plenty of talent, including Daily News All-Area and All-Southern Section second-teamer Taylor Lilley and Daily News All-Area honorable mention Tatianna Thomas, a transfer from Alemany of Mission Hills. Lilley, who will play both point and shooting guard The Shooting guard (SG), also known as the two or off guard,[1] is one of five traditional positions on a basketball team. Players of the position are often shorter, leaner, and quicker than forwards. in Trebilcock's absence, is headed to the University of Oregon The University of Oregon is a public university located in Eugene, Oregon. The university was founded in 1876, graduating its first class two years later. The University of Oregon is one of 60 members of the Association of American Universities. . The Indians also will rely on first-team all-league forward KaLana Inemer, one of Southern California's best defensive players, according to according to prep. 1.

Thomas, Inemer and athletic guard Britney Fitchpatrick are being recruited by NCAA NCAA abbr. National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I programs. Sophomore guard Kelli Lewis is at full strength after recovering from an ACL injury ACL injury See Anterior cruciate ligament injury. . Forward Megan Ford is probably Hart's most-improved player. They're all part of a deep team that allows Munroe to use a more pressing defense. Hart might not have the strong challenger it has faced the past four seasons - Valencia the past two seasons and Saugus before that. Valencia, which defeated Hart in last season's penultimate game to claim a share of the Foothill title, was hit hard by graduation. The Vikings lose Daily News All-Area selections Kelley Tarver, Daviyonne Weathersby and Brittany Sansone from a team that went 22-8 and advanced to the Southern Section Div. I-AA quarterfinals. ``I really like this team,'' Valencia head coach Jerry Mike said. ``They have great attitudes and are very unselfish. We've got a lot of potential, so I think we can stay competitive and maybe surprise some teams.'' Sophomore point guard Chelsey Hastigan will run the offense. Brooke Sansone, the team's best outside threat, will play at shooting guard. Valencia and Hart, both 9-1, were the only teams with winning league records last year; the other four teams were separated by two games. Five of the league's six teams made the playoffs last year; that could be the case again. ``It's going to be a dogfight,'' Saugus coach Eric Olsson said. ``We don't have two elite teams this time, but all-around (the league) will be better.'' Third-place Saugus graduated Kelly O'Linn, who averaged 13.2 points per game last year. A pair of 5-foot-9 junior forwards - Nia Martinez and Serena Blair - were the Centurions' second- and third-leading scorers in 2004-05. Ashley Wright, who averaged 6.7 points and 5.8 rebounds off the bench last season, will move into the starting lineup For the line of action figures, see .

The Cowboys lost a combined 16 points a game with the graduation of Brooke Bergiadis and Kayla Bastedo, but they are improved after half the team spent the summer with Delus' club team. ``It shows how much desire this team has, how much hard work they've put into this season,'' Delus said. ``We've shown them what it takes to play at a high level, and they've accepted it.'' Burbank returns three of its four leading scorers from last year, including Roula Shamas (7.7 points per game), Lauren Rowsey (6.5) and Lisette Gonzalez (6.5).
