La Jolla's basketball team is motoring through its two summer leagues without a defeat to this point. That's not counting the West Hills tournament beginning the summer.

On Monday and Wednesday evenings, the Vikings play at Montgomery High School in the South Bay. On some days, traffic during commute time to the games is horrendous, taking up to an hour to travel the distance between schools.

On Tuesday evenings, Coach Paul Baranowski's squad plays in the Hoover High summer league.

So far, after seven games, the Vikings are without a defeat. The biggest margin of victory came Mon., July 6, over Lutheran High of Chula Vista, 59-32, at Montgomery.

Reed Farley and Alex Pitrofsky have led La Jolla to big leads, sometimes earlier in the game, sometimes later. La Jolla doesn't seem to be extremely well tested in the Montgomery league, especially. Most of the other participating teams in that league are from the South Bay: Olympian, Montgomery, and others.
