Mission League boys basketball: Stat leaders as of Jan. 5, 2024
The Mission League's opening night is Friday, Jan. 5.
It's in the conversation for one of the toughest high school boys basketball leagues in the country, and certainly is the toughest league in California the last few seasons.
Harvard-Westlake (15-1) is the defending CIF State Open Division champion; Notre Dame (15-0) is the defending Division I state champion; and Sierra Canyon (15-1) is the only Southern Section program remaining that's earned a berth to the Open Division playoffs since its creation in 2014-15.
Chaminade (16-4) won the Southern Section Division 1 title in 2021. St. Francis (14-4) won a CIF State Regional title in 2020. Crespi (17-2), Loyola (12-6) and Alemany (9-6) are all programs nobody wants to play in the postseason.
The league is filled with talent. Here are the per game stat leaders heading into league play:
