Jacob Cruz, who graduated from Channel Islands High, and Kevin Millar, who attended Hart, were named to Baseball Weekly’s 1997 minor league all-star team.

Cruz was an outfielder for the San Francisco Giants’ triple-A Phoenix affiliate, while Millar played first base for the Florida Marlins’ double-A team in Portland, Maine.

Receiving honorable mention were outfielder Mike Glendenning, who plays in the Giants’ organization and attended Crespi High and Pierce College, second baseman J.P. Roberge, a Dodger farmhand who went to St. Francis and USC, first basemen Robert Fick, who plays in the Detroit Tigers’ organization and attended Cal State Northridge, and first baseman Nate Dishington, who went to Hoover and plays in the St. Louis Cardinals’ organization.

Moving on: Ginni Giles, a forward for the North Hollywood High girls’ basketball team, said she will enroll at Agoura High today.

Giles, a senior, was a key reserve last year for the Huskies, who claimed the Mid-Valley League title.
