One Hillman Supplants Another on Hoover Single-Season Scoring List

Hoover High finished with a 7-16 record but junior forward John Hillman (25.3 points a game) moved into second place on the school single-season scoring list, bumping brother Joe into third place. John finished with 675 points to Joe’s 661, also achieved in his junior year.

But Joe, who plays at Indiana, need not be too angry at his brother: He’s perched on the top rung. As a senior in 1983-84, Joe scored 1,074 points--averaging 41.3 points a game--and finished his three-year career with 2,213 points.

Records: Reseda’s victory over Monroe on Friday marked the Regents’ ninth win, one more than the team had in the previous two seasons combined. Reseda (9-10) was 6-13 in 1986-87 and 2-14 in 1987-88.

El Camino Real forward Brent Lofton has scored a school-record 921 points, and, after consecutive 14-rebound games last week, has topped the 500-rebound plateau (501). In Northwest Valley Conference play, Lofton averaged 23.2 points a game, second only to Cleveland forward Lucious Harris, who averaged 23.3.

For the second consecutive year, Hart set a school scoring record. The Indians, who averaged 71.2 points a game last season, averaged 73.5 this season.

Steals: One season after establishing a school record for assists, Dedan Thomas of Taft has broken the team mark for steals. Thomas, who plans to attend Nevada Las Vegas, has 116 steals in 21 games (5.5 a game). Thomas’ defensive improvement has not cost him offensively--he is averaging 18.3 points and 8.9 assists.

Big weeks: Birmingham forward Glenn Sucich scored 50 points and had 32 rebounds last week. Sucich had 17 points and 16 rebounds in a 79-58 victory over Sylmar and 33 points and 16 rebounds in an 82-56 victory over Poly that forced a playoff game today between Birmingham and Poly.

Grant guard Nate Conner made 15 of 16 field-goal attempts in two games last week. His only miss came on a last-second shot at the end of the first quarter against Sylmar. Conner, who is averaging 13.2 points and 5.8 assists, had 32 points, 17 assists and six steals last week.

Shooting: Dana Jones of North Hollywood has made 59.2% of his field-goal attempts. Jones, who is averaging 19.9 points, 13.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 6.4 blocked shots, has made 122 of 206 attempts. . . . Hart’s Brett Wilson has made 55% (172 of 313) of his field-goal attempts and 69.1% (195 of 282) of his free throws. Teammate Micah Ohlman has made 29 of 70 (41.4%) three-point shots.

Burroughs’ Marnie Calderon, who made 5 of 5 three-point shots Friday against Burbank, has made 48 of 93 (51.6%).

Winning streaks: North Hollywood has won 11 consecutive games by an average score of 76-57. . . . Grant has won nine consecutive games and 13 of its past 14.

Fit again: Rio Mesa’s Eric Thomas, after spending much of the season battling injuries and illness, is healthy and his numbers are beginning to show it. In his past five games, the 6-6 forward has averaged 20.3 points and 6.6 rebounds--an increase over his season-averages of 15.6 points and 5.8 rebounds.

Girls: Marlo Cormier, who earlier this season became Newbury Park’s career scoring leader, scored 17 points Thursday in her last game and finished her career with 1,030 points, the first Panther to break to 1,000-point barrier.
