La Habra’s boys basketball team, coached by Aaron Riekenberg, capped a perfect 4-0 week with a 64-56 victory over Dana Hills Saturday.

The Highlanders (7-2 overall) were led by Grayson Sinek, who averaged 20 points, three assists and three steals a game; Jaedon Anderson, who averaged 22 points, four rebounds and two steals; and Acen Jimenez, who averaged 14 points, five rebounds, six assists and two steals.

“Last week at Portola was very challenging, facing some of the best teams in the county,” Riekenberg said. “Proud of our boys for rising to the challenge and going 4-0. It doesn’t get any easier as we travel to Cypress (Tuesday night) next.”

La Habra also defeated Tesoro, Capo Valley Christian and San Juan Hills last week. Edison also finished 4-0 at the Portola-Woodbridge Classic. No champion was named. Each team was guaranteed four games.

La Habra was voted No. 2 in this week’s CIF 3AA poll.
