Boys’ basketball: Beware of L.A. Windward

Los Angeles Windward, finally at full strength, is starting to play like a Southern Section title contender. The team is 10-5 overall but 9-2 since players from the football team arrived.

And last week, the team knocked off North Hollywood Campbell Hall, 79-67, and Chatsworth Sierra Canyon, 72-46.

If beating those small schools powers wasn’t impressive enough, the Wildcats came within a point last month of stunning San Diego Lincoln, the defending state Division II champs.

Harvard-bound Wesley Saunders is averaging 20.6 points, and guard Nick Stover is at 14.6.
