LAKEPORT >> The first Paul Larrea Memorial junior varsity and varsity boys basketball tournament takes place Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 at the Clear Lake High School gym.
The four-team tournament features a round-robin format. It is being sponsored by the CLHS Sports Foundation in honor of the longtime Clear Lake High School counselor, drama teacher, girls soccer and baseball coach. Larrea died suddenly on Oct. 19, 2017.
Larrea coached both junior varsity and varsity baseball at Clear Lake but the majority of his success came as the school’s longtime varsity girls soccer coach. He led the Cardinals to multiple playoff appearances and a North Coast Section championship in 2000. Larrea stepped down following the 2015 season.
The boys basketball program wanted to honor Larrea with a tournament bearing his name. Competing in the varsity division will be Clear Lake, Bentley, Vacaville Christian and Bay School of San Francisco. The JV bracket will feature Clear Lake, Bentley, Vacaville Christian and Summit K2.
