Jordan Coleman of the Coyotes dazzled with a load of baskets including layups, a dribble drive floater, a fade away and powerful dunk. But the leading Coyotes soon faltered as Harvard-Westlake ditched the full court press and fed the ball to their big man, Erik Swoope. Swoope overcame the double digit deficit to triumph over the Coyotes with a 83-68 victory.

“It’s disappointing to lose, but we fought hard,” Coleman explained. “We wanted to go far in the playoffs and we did.”

Coleman, who will attend the University of Hawaii next year, scored 22 of his 27 points in the first half as they stomped St. John Bosco and Tustin.

With the help of the fan base who they call “The Pack,” the Coyotes had a strong year and should be proud in this years efforts.

Once owned by Howard Hughes, the Cahuenga Peak or the Hollywood Sign is receiving ample attention. The land was purchased in 2002 by a group of Chicago investors for $1.7 million. Last month, however, the group put the land back on the market, with an asking price of $22 million.

The land atop the 1,820-foot Cahuenga Peak consists of five legal lots that allow for construction of homes. Some people in Hollywood are understandably distraught at the pressing idea of mansions emerging around an indelible landmark. To slow the process, LA City councilman Tom LaBonge and other residents are now fighting to ensure that the land remain free of any other eyesores.

The problem, however, is the city cannot legally pay more than the assessed value of $6 million for the land. Therefore, LaBlonge is approaching independent investors in hopes to raise the needed funds.
