Gardena High forward Clarence Bookman goes up for a basket in last week's Gardena Tip-Off Showcase non-league boys' basketball game against Middle College. The Panthers held on for a 54-53 season opening victory. Bookman is a returning starter who led Gardena with 18 points. He hopes to key the Panthers to an improved season from their 7-19 overall record, including 1-11 in the Marine League. The Panthers are currently in the Mira Costa Pacific Shores Tournament where they opened against Torrance last Monday. Gardena will host Garfield next Wednesday at 7 p.m.
