NORWALK, Ca. – Some of the very best high school guards from the western classes of 2017 and ’18 took center stage Saturday – literally and figuratively – during Day I of the Pangos All-West Frosh/Soph Camp at Cerritos Community College.

Approximately 200 players – the bulk of high school freshmen and sophomores but there were a smattering of impressive eighth graders on hand, as well – were on hand for the annual two-day event, which attracts a lot of the elite prospects from the western region in those classes.
