With summer almost upon us, and high school sports shut down for the season, Sports Notebook will be featuring the games and competitions held at the Agoura Hills/Calabasas Community Center. These adult-played sports are all sponsored by the Agoura Hills Parks & Recreation Center. We call it our Summer Edition.

Thurday "D" League

• Sony Delight battled the first place Dudes in a back and forth battle. What seems to be the strategy for Sony Delight worked, once again, and gave them the win. By staying close throughout the entire game, Sony Delight was able to creep up on it's opponent and steal a buzzer beater victory. Coming out of a timeout with three seconds left, Joe Devita (Sony Delight) sunk a reverse layup and in turn ended the game. Devita posted 20 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in route to an exciting finish. Sony Delight goes from seventh to tied for first with the Dudes in a matter of three weeks. Both teams have a 4-2 record and look to win next week.
