If you can get the keys to your rich uncle’s condominium and don’t mind forking out $10 for gas, OK, $20 if you drive an SUV, there’s a nice litle matchup on the books tonight at the Cathedral City tournament.
Los Osos will take on Harvard-Westlake at 8:30 p.m. in the championship game of the elite National Division.
Los Osos is led by Kendall Williams, a 6-foot-3 sophomore point guard who has already committed to UCLA. Williams is averaging 18.7 points, 5.5 assists and is shooting 40% from the three-point stripe.
The Wolverines (8-4) have one of the top combo forwards in the nation in Renaldo Woolridge, a 6-8 senior who has signed with Tennessee. Woolridge is averaging 19.4 points and seven rebounds.
Woolridge, who doesn’t need a rich uncle because he has a rich dad, scored a season-high 29 points Friday night in an 83-71 victory over Pleasant Grove (Utah).
‘Renaldo Woolridge presents a huge matchup problem,’’ said Los Osos Coach David Smith.
Los Osos (10-5) faced Reno and its Duke-bound power forward Olek Czyz in the first round. Czyz scored 25 points, but the Grizzlies won, 73-70.
They knocked off Stockton St. Mary’s, 61-48, in the second game and then shot 61% from the field while knocking off unbeaten Mercer Island (Wash.), ranked No. 5 in the state, 70-66.
