Maxwell Lloyd wins the awards for most unique girl's first name award and the greatest effort to get to La Jolla High's basketball game at Canyon Crest Academy Sat., July 9.
Her mother says that Maxwell is a family middle name and a grandmother's maiden name. "It can be good or bad, because people will remember who she is" because of her name as her first name, said mom, enjoying her daughter's team's play in the crowded gym, three games transpiring at once, boys and girls action included.
The family is camping at Cuyamaca this weekend, so they drove back to San Diego for Maxwell's games Saturday afternoon. Then they were going to drive back up to Cuyamaca to resume camping after a 6 p.m. game later in the day.
"We went on a five-hour hike this morning, so she has reason to be tired," her mom smiled.
Meanwhile, the Vikings are trying to prove the truth of the adage, Struggle brings growth, because they are playing with heart, but with no practice sessions due to the renovation of the gym on campus they are taking some drubbings--like the 46-29 decision James Stewart's UC squad stuck to them Saturday afternoon.
"Between (3 p.m. and 6 p.m.) games, we're going to try to go home and rest up a little before coming back for the 6 p.m. game," said Mrs. Lloyd.
Reina Perez got a couple of minutes of action against the talented and disciplined Centurions, coached by Stewart, former boys assistant to Kamal Assaf. She's a new face. Petra Eaton showed her enthusiasm, as did her teammates.
Stewart's squad won UC's first league title last season and looked pretty sharp. These are girls who have played a lot and practiced a lot. La Jolla's contingent aspires to be there.
