HIGH SCHOOL NOTEBOOK

Palmdale, Highland and Antelope Valley were preseason picks to battle for the Golden League title, and they still might.

But after two weeks, it’s Lancaster and Littlerock who are alone with 2-0 records.

“Everybody was telling us how this was going to be a rebuilding year,” said first-year Coach Troy Jackson of Lancaster, whose team has defeated Chaminade and Sultana. “But we have a lot of older players who work very hard.”

A good measuring stick for Littlerock will come this week in a nonleague game at Barstow.

Barstow, a Southern Section Division VIII finalist last season, lost to Golden League favorite Palmdale, 14-12, in the opener.
