ENCINITIS, Ca – The start of the “real” high school basketball season is less than a month away.

And those in the Boys & Girls Club gymnasium in this San Diego suburb got a nifty look at some of the better players in San Diego County, as well as the make-up of what should be some of the better teams, Wednesday night in the first-ever Pangos Best of San Diego Showcase.
