LJ BB: Scrimmage

The focus in the two gyms at Grossmont High was all basketball, while out in the greater world Black Friday madness reigned.

La Jolla's boys team scrimmaged four opponents Friday, Nov. 28, on a rotating set-up of two 8-minute quarters with a stopped clock, and with referees, which Viking coach Paul Baranowski was pleased about. This might be a rare occasion in some quarters on which a coach would welcome the presence of "zebras" with whistles.

Of note in the earliest scrimmage was 6'6" Alex Pitrofsky's activity near the basket. In his movement, confidence, and effectiveness he looked like a totally different player from the Alex back in Spring and Summer leagues, who looked young, green, and tentative.
