Fab four leading the way for Saugus
The Saugus
boys' basketball team is off to a 5-0 start and a lot of that has to do with
play Cameron Diorio, Mitch Weber,
Michael Cassio and Josh Benham. The
fab four combined for 61 points in the Centurions'
63-59 victory Nov. 30 over the Roberto Nelson-led
boys over at Santa Barbara,
which is ranked No. 22 in The Times'
preseason poll. And they combined for 49 points to defeat Westlake,
62-59, in the championship game of the Saugus Shootout on Dec. 1. Diorio is averaging 17.8 points a game and
Weber, Cassio and Benham
are all averaging between 12 and 10 points a game heading into their Oak Park
tournament opener today against Calabasas. Still,
the Centurions' solid start shouldn't be a shocker -- they have six returning
players and they posted a 24-6 record over
the summer, which included Westmont
and Hart tournament championships. So don't be surprised one bit if the
Centurions take off on an unstoppable fastbreak for
the Foothill League
title next month. Afterall, defending league
champs Hart
lost in double digits to Westlake
on Friday.
