Coyote Megan Charles scores 28 points in the biggest came of her high school career.
Calabasas High School's Megan Charles put on a stellar performance on Jan. 27 in a game against Agoura High School, making seven 3-pointers in the first half alone. Despite the Coyotes' 70-49 loss, the junior shooting guard scored 28 points and was mentioned on NBC 4 news for her sharpshooting. "I started hitting the first couple, but then I was just open, nobody played defense so I kept shooting and they all kept going in," Charles said. Charles, who wants to play college ball someday, said a recent injury that sidelined her limited her practices to mainly shooting around. "I've just been perfecting my shot for the past three or four months," she said. The Coyotes are 7-20 so far this season.

With three weeks remaining in the basketball season, Calabasas High looks to pull away from the pack.
There is a logjam at the top of the Marmonte League boys basketball standings, with three teams tied for first heading into the final three-week stretch of the regular season. The good news is Calabasas (16-3, 6-1) is among the leaders, along with Westlake (17-5, 6-1) and Royal (14-5, 6-1). The Coyotes, coming off a 78-46 win Friday over Thousand Oaks, have a light schedule this week because of final exams, as the team has six days off before resuming this coming Friday at Simi Valley. Tipoff is 7:30 p.m. “We had a great practice Saturday. We’re all in a great frame of mind,” guard Spencer Levy said. “After that win over Thousand Oaks, I feel like we’re playing at our highest potential.
