Erik Swoope had 26 points and 10 rebounds and Damiene Cain had 20 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks to lead Harvard-Westlake to an 82-58 Mission League victory tonight over Alemany.

Swoope shot an impressive 12-for-14 from the field and Cain made nine of 12 shots. Nate Bulluck added 18 points and Michael Attanasio had eight assists for the Wolverines.

Harvard-Westlake will find out far it has come since its slow start on Monday when it plays host to Loyola, ranked No. 3 in the Southland by The Times.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
