Valley High School will retire the jerseys of former standouts Roburt Sallie and Wayne Hunter during a ceremony Friday night before the Vikings' game against visiting Laguna Creek.

Sallie and Hunter helped Valley win section championships and finish as CIF NorCal Regional runners-up in 2003 (Division I) and 2004 (Division II).

Sallie went on to play at Memphis; Hunter played for St. Mary's.

Valley boys coach Mathew Bradley, who is coordinating the jersey retirement, said Hunter, now a junior varsity boys basketball coach at Oakland Tech, is expected to attend the game.

Bradley said Sallie, who has been playing basketball in Europe, hopes to attend if his schedule allows.

Laguna Creek boys coach Paul Casey also will be honored for his long tenure as Valley's boys basketball coach and athletic director. Casey coached Hunter and Sallie.

"We just thought it was time to officially recognize Coach Casey's 18 years at Valley," Bradley said. "That's a long time at our school. … We wanted to honor Wayne and Roburt because they helped put Valley on the map as far as boys basketball."

The home jerseys of Hunter (No. 24) and Sallie (No. 34) and a special No. 1 jersey for Casey will be framed and hung on the Vikings' gym wall. Hunter and Sallie will receive framed senior-year road jerseys, and Casey will be presented with a framed picture of the 2004 section championship team.

The timing of the ceremony may be fitting for Bradley's No. 16 Vikings.

They won the Frank Godinez Tournament championship Saturday in Turlock by beating Grace Davis of Modesto 71-62 for the championship, led by tournament MVP Robert "Memphis" Perry's 25 points.

Valley last won that tournament in 2003 and 2004.

"We mentioned that in the locker room before the championship game," said Bradley, who is in his fourth season at Valley. "We're striving to do the same type of things as those teams. We still need to make a lot of improvement, and we need to stay focused and not worry about rankings or Maxpreps stats – just keep working hard for four quarters and getting W's."

Senior Arron Redd and sophomore Elijah Calloway also made the all-tournament team, but Bradley credits senior point guard and captain Tercail Hadley for the Vikings' fast start.

"He makes our motor run," Bradley said.

Mitty beats Huskies – Second-ranked Sheldon had no answer for Archbishop Mitty of San Jose's Aaron Gordon in Saturday's showcase meeting in Livermore.

The 6-foot-7 Gordon, one of the nation's top juniors, scored 33 points in leading USA Today's No. 18 Monarchs past the Huskies 74-61 at Las Positas College. D'Erryl Williams led Sheldon with 17 points.

Sheldon hosts No. 4 Franklin at 7 p.m. today.

The Wildcats defeated Arcata 70-57 Saturday to win the Arcata Invitational for the third year in a row behind tournament MVP Theo Johnson's 24 points.

Macres showdown – Matthew Hayes scored on a baseline runner in traffic with four seconds to play to lift No. 5 Pleasant Grove over No. 6 Burbank 50-49 for the fifth annual Mark Macres Tournament title at Monterey Trail on Saturday.

The junior guard's winning basket came after Mitchell Love's free throw put the Titans ahead 49-48 with 12.1 seconds.

But Love missed the second free-throw attempt and tournament MVP Colfax Nordquist rebounded for Pleasant Grove.

Close calls – Top-ranked Jesuit won and lost games at the buzzer in the 58th annual Gridley Invitational last weekend.

On Friday, the Marauders beat Newark-Memorial 50-49 on Parker Uu's game winner, then lost 51-49 to Salesian of Richmond in Saturday's championship game on Sean O'Neal's disputed layup with no time showing.
