Kornblatt to Coach Glendale Girls’ Basketball Team

Frank Kornblatt, the assistant girls’ basketball coach at Glendale High for the past three seasons, has been hired as the team’s head coach.

Kornblatt, 46, replaces Paul Broneer, who resigned as coach in May after three seasons.

Kornblatt coached the girls’ frosh-soph team at Burroughs High from 1980-87, and the girls’ junior varsity in 1987-88. His teams won seven Foothill League titles and compiled an overall record of 131-30.

“This was the right time and the right opportunity for me,” said Kornblatt, a 1962 graduate of Grant High. “I’ve coached three of the girls on this team at various levels since the fourth grade.”

Those three--Jenny Dalton, who will be a senior, and Tracy Young and Cyndee Bennett, who will be juniors, are returning starters.

Alicia Zamparelli, who will be a senior, and Tami Muranaka, who will be a junior, are also returning starters. Last season, the Dynamiters finished 19-6, won the Pacific League title with a 10-0 record, and advanced to the second round of the Southern Section Division I-AA playoffs.

Canoga Park Bowl will play host to the Ed Price Memorial Open of the Western Seniors Bowlers Tour on Saturday and Sunday. The pros will begin bowling Saturday at 9 a.m., and the event will be open to the public. At 7:30 p.m. Saturday, a pro-am tournament will be held, also open to the public. Prizes will be awarded.
