Anderson Returns at Grant

DeWayne Anderson, an all-league guard at Grant High who quit the team last month, has been reinstated, strengthening the Lancers’ chances of winning the Sunset Six League boys’ basketball championship.

Anderson quit without explanation and did not contact Coach Howard Levine for three weeks during the holiday break.

But this week, Anderson asked Levine if he could return. Teammates voted to let him come back and he practiced for the first time on Thursday.

Anderson averaged 13.1 points last season. He was averaging 18 points in Grant’s first five games. He gives the Lancers (12-5) a formidable trio on offense with 6-foot-6 Mike Charleston and point guard Gino Riney.

* Kenny Williams, an assistant men’s coach at Valley College, has been suspended by the school for throwing a punch at Moorpark assistant Howard Davis after a game on Wednesday night.

Chuck Ferrero, Valley’s athletic director, said Williams will miss the team’s game against Bakersfield on Saturday.

* Crespi and Alemany have rescheduled their Mission League game for Feb. 8 at Crespi. The game was postponed Wednesday because of a power outage.
