Boys Athlete of the Week:
In back-to-back Saturday’s, the Diamond Bar basketball program has won the San Dimas and Glendora tournaments, respectively.
The Brahmas edged Villa Park, 43-42 a week ago today at SDHS.
And last night, DBHS had another one-point victory, as they perseverd in a 55-54 nailbiter to Bishop Amat.
They say great players shine when it counts most.
And that was certainly the case for point guard, Malcolm Bell.
In the semfinal and championship games, Bell totaled a combined 26 points, 16 rebounds, four assists and three steals.
Bell started the tournament as strongly as he finished.
The DBHS senior scored 32 points against Don Lugo, and followed that two days later with 27 in a 20-point win over Hesperia.
Diamond Bar is now 11-2 in the first 13 games of the 2022-23 season.

Baseball: I’ll start by saying that Chino Hills absolutely earned its 4-3 Baseline League victory over their visitors from Los Osos.
