After the fastest end to a football season in Long Beach in 30 years, it’s a quick turn of the page to basketball season. This year the Moore League and St. Anthony feature plenty of new talent as well as some returning stalwarts, all hoping to raise league and CIF Southern Section championship trophies in 2026.
