Walnut High School boys basketball coach Joe Khouzam and his son Malik, a senior on the team, are giving everything they can to help the team this week as it competes in the Covina Christmas Classic. They are both dealing with extremely heavy hearts, yet they have helped the Colts reach the tournament's championship game. The results, though, are secondary for them. They both needed the games this week to help them get through the pain they are feeling over the devastating loss of Joe's daughter — and Malik's sister — on Friday, Dec.
