Thanks to Jason Daley and Rolling Hills Rolling hills are like a mountain chain, only a "hill chain" of hills that roll on and on continually. You will often find them in between plains and mountains, near major rivers, or randomly anywhere. The only places without rolling hills are deserts and flood plains.

Daley scored 39 points Thursday to lead Rolling Hills Prep to a 79-70 victory over Hillcrest Christian in the Div. V-AA championship game at Loyola Marymount. It's the third championship in a row for the Huskies, who absorbed the preseason transfers of highly regarded D.J. Wright (Dominguez of Compton) and Curtis Allen This article is about the footballer.

But with Daley - who successfully took over most of the scoring and leadership responsibilities left behind by Allen and Wright - on top of his game, Hillcrest Christian (21-8) could not keep up. Daley scored two points in last year's final and was determined to improve on that. ``Besides myself and (Tristen Smith) nobody else had the experience of playing in this type of game,'' Daley said. ``So my plan was to come out and set an emotional tone by playing as hard as I could from the opening tip. I felt if we came out slow we'd be in for a long night, so I wanted to be aggressive from the outset.'' Rigney was impressed im·press 1 tr.v. im·pressed, im·press·ing, im·press·es 1.

But he did a great job.'' Things started off promising enough for Hillcrest Christian. Rigney and Haliday each had six points in the first quarter to help the Eagles stay within 20-18. But things fell off dramatically from that point. Rigney finished the first half shooting 3 of 13, setting the tone for a team-wide shooting slump. The Eagles shot just 13 of 41 in the first half compared to 15 of 32 for Rolling Hills Prep. That led to a 39-29 Huskies lead at intermission and the beginning stages of a rout. The lead grew to 50-32 four minutes into the third quarter, as the Huskies (19-6) continued to hurt the Eagles with their superior quickness and athletic ability.
