Media that made appearances at the league this year include Dinos Trigonis (Fullcourt Press, Hoop Scoop & Nothing But Net), Patrick Stanwood (Hoopmasters & Hoop Scoop), Dave Keefer (CaliforniaPreps.com), Etop Udo-Ema (Fullcourt Press & Hoopmasters), Roy White (WestCoastHoopsReport.com), Alan Utter (Hoop Scoop & Rivals.com), Bob Jacoby (Rivals.com), Sean Ceglinsky (Nothing But Net), Nick Koza (SportsAmp.com) and Matt Rodriguez (Ballislife.com).
In two previous reports, we noted several excellent performers. Here in Part III, we feature several more.

Cezar closed out a very strong spring league with a pair of impressive performances including efforts of 24 points/7 assists (including the game-winning 3-point shot) and 27 points/6 assists. Guerrero (now a legitimate 6’0”) is arguably the most skilled lead guard in SoCal’s 2011 class.
