Fairfax ready for a break

Normally coaches might be leery of having a 13-day break between games, which is the amount of time Fairfax (11-2) has before resuming action against Western League rival Palisades on Jan. 11.
But Lions Coach Harvey Kitani said he and his players are embracing the idle time.
‘We’ve played a lot of tournament games,’ Kitani said. ‘We’ve been going at it pretty hard. So [the coaches] will give them a couple days off, then work on conditioning. Then we’ll get ready for Palisades.’
One Fairfax player who can definitely use the free time is sophomore guard Donte McFrazier, who sustained a stress fracture in his foot during the Pacific Shores tournament in early December. Kitani said he hoped to have McFrazier back for the Palisades game.
