EL CAJON – The Foothills Christian Knights wrapped up their 10th-straight league title on Wednesday night by defeating visiting La Jolla Country Day, 65-58, at Cuyamaca College.
The Torreys were the only challenger left for the county top-ranked Knights to dismiss to complete the championship.

Senior TAESHON CHERRY scored 17 points for the Knights, while sophomore teammate YASSINE GHARRAM added 14 points, as the Knights won their 15th-straight game and improved to 11-0 in the Ocean League.
Juniors D.J. CARTER-HOLLINGER and JAREN NAFARETTE both scored 13 points for FCHS.
Foothills Christian improved to 24-5 overall.
It was head coach BRAD LEAF’s 297th win at FCHS.
Foothills Christian travels to meet Francis Parker on Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the regular season finale.
