There will be two battles staged later today at Taft High in the War on the Floor/Future Stars game for top junior boys’ and girls’ basketball players from the San Fernando Valley.

The boys’ game, which tips off at 6:30 p.m., features Taft’s Pierson Williams and Sam Natt on the West team against an East team that includes Jason Johnson of Cleveland.

The girls’ game, scheduled for a 4:45 p.m. tip, includes Destinee Sellers and Monica Jackson of Chatsworth playing for the West and Crescenta Valley’s Cassie Pappas playing for the East.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
