COLLINS TWINS IN SPOTLIGHT AT PAULY.

Byline: Gary Washburn Daily News Staff Writer

The biggest concern for Harvard-Westlake High School forward Jarron Collins was not playing at Pauley Pavilion Monday night.

That was the easy part.

Jarron worried instead about his trigonometry final early this morning. The Collins twins returned to Pauley for the final time before heading to play at Stanford next season.

``We've thought about it,'' Jarron said. ``It's a special feeling to play here, but we know next year we'll be on the visitors' bench and playing for a different team.''

The Harvard-Westlake-Fairfax matchup at the Martin Luther King Classic, set for 8 p.m., did not tip off until well after 9:30 p.m., and coach Greg Hilliard was not pleased.

``This is probably the worst thing to happen because the kids were going to go home and study and that's out,'' Hilliard said.

Jarron's agenda: ``I've already studied. I'm going to sleep.''

The Wolverines (20-1 before Monday night's game) are ranked ahead of any squad that was playing at the Classic. Even Dominguez and Crenshaw, which played before Harvard-Westlake and are both heralded, have not fared as well.

Many wanted to see the twins play for the first time in person after two years of hearing about two of the most sought after big men in California.

``It's easy to get up for games like this because people want to see you play,'' Jarron said. ``We want to do our best because we know we're in the spotlight.''

Among the celebrities were Keyshawn Johnson, George Raveling, Mike Warren and Jaleel White.

The twins grew up UCLA fans and also made the decision not to play in Westwood.

Harvard-Westlake used a 16-0 run to start the third quarter and easily defeated Fairfax 67-48.

Jason Collins led the Wolverines (21-1) with 22 points, eight rebounds and eight blocks.

Fairfax (11-6) was held to just 21 points in the second half.

Long Beach Poly 75, Antelope Valley 62: The Antelopes received 21 points from Tony Walker and 17 points and 14 rebounds from Le'Tre Kelly, but it wasn't enough to beat the Jackrabbits in a morning matchup.

Antelope Valley was without Marc Buckner, who couldn't play after receiving two technical fouls last week against Quartz Hill.

Crossroads 56, Inglewood 51: Cash Warren, the son of former UCLA player Mike Warren, made two free throws with 26 seconds left to seal the win for the Roadrunners. Baron Davis, the UCLA recruit, led Crossroads with 18 points.

Dominguez 101, Crenshaw 90: Fresno State-bound Kenny Bruner scored 27 points for the Dons in an entertaining win over Crenshaw.
