With 3:45 left in the game and La Jolla up by eight, Daniel McColl sank the first of two free throws.
"You obviously didn't coach him on free throws," Coach Paul Baranowski called up to David McColl, Daniel's older brother, sitting in the stands at Point Loma Nazarene University.
Baranowski was having fun with the elder McColl, a former player of his whom he had talked to between games at the summer team camp the Vikings were participating in.
Daniel put the second free throw in, as well, exhibiting his nice touch with a nice rotation on the ball. Besides his free throw shooting, the junior has shown an ability to play defense and a desire to bang the boards and put the ball back up on the offensive board.
"He could be starting for us next season," said Baranowski.
La Jolla was in the midst of winning 12 straight summer league games, losing only at West Hills High in the first action of the summer, then a loss by two points to Palm Desert Sat., July 11, at the PLNU Team Camp.
"No," Baranowski answered when asked if the undefeated streak was significant. The important thing, he said, is getting in the work, giving returners and new varsity team members a chance to work on skills and work together.
