With a 10-game winning streak, North Hollywood Harvard-Westlake (12-4m 4-0) has started to assert itself in the Mission League, led by 6-foot-5 Erik Swoope, who has put together games of 37, 33, 31, 28 and 26 points in the past month.

Swoope, who recently committed to Miami, has become a dominating force for the Wolverines, who will play host to Encino Crespi (10-7, 2-2) tonight but won’t have starting guard Nate Bulluck after he was ejected from his last game following a technical foul.

‘He’s been unstoppable,’ Coach Greg Hilliard said of Swoope.

Harvard-Westlake is the only team to have beaten Los Angeles Loyola this season, and fans from both teams are already planning for the rematch on Jan. 29 at Loyola.
