DAY IN SPORTS: INSIDE GAME LEADS H.-W.Byline: Daily News The Chaminade High of West Hills boys' basketball team trailed by five points heading into the fourth quarter of the Mission League opener Monday but managed only one point the next five minutes and host Harvard-Westlake of Studio City took advantage, pulling away for a 58-48 victory. Harvard-Westlake's height advantage caused problems throughout. Evan Harris Evan Leslie Harris BM BCh MP (born 21 October 1965) is a British Liberal Democrat politician.

Harris had 17 points and eight rebounds, and Stepheson added 16 points and 18 rebounds. ``We have never had more blocked shots than that,'' said Harvard-Westlake coach Greg Hillard, who was especially proud of the Wolverines' interior defense. ``(Chaminade) never had a good look inside.'' Oregon-bound senior Bryce Tayor scored 12 points, well under his 20- point-per-game average, and had eight rebounds for Harvard-Westlake (8-5). ``We had the Monday blahs blah Informal n. 1.

We just have to battle through. It was good to get the victory to open up league play.'' Despite its troubles, Chaminade (7-8) pulled to within four points in the third quarter and had chances in the fourth quarter to trim the deficit even more but missed several midrange midrange Epidemiology The halfway point or midpoint in a set of observations; for most data, MR is calculated as the sum of the smallest observation and the largest observation, divided by 2; for age data, one is added to the numerator; a midrange is usually jumpers, which hurt in the end. ``Our game plan was to box out and not put them on the free-throw line free-throw line n. See foul line. ,`` Chaminade coach Bryan Cantwell said. ``We just couldn't overcome (Harris and Stepheson).'' Adding to Chaminade's problems has been the fact the team hasn't been at full strength at any one time this season. It did, however, get a taste of what it would be like Monday when seniors Marcus Everett and Adrian Aye-Darko both suited up after missing several games while competing in all-star football games. Everett scored 15 points and Aye-Darko added 13. ``We're solid when we have everyone,'' Cantwell said. ``Marcus and Adrian can score 40 to 50 points combined a night. Having them with us makes a huge impact.'' Teammate David Havskjold scored all nine of his points on three 3-pointers, but Chaminade was hurt by an overall poor shooting effort, finishing 18 of 66 from the field.
