From the outset, Flintridge Prep attempted to curb scoring by controlling the clock with its half-court game. The Rebels straddled the 3-point arc, taking the shot clock down to less than seven seconds on their first four possessions. Early success around the perimeter produced an early Flintridge Prep lead. A 3-pointer by Devin Brown (17 points) gave the Rebels (15-11) a 12-4 lead. But Bell-Jeff responded. Spurred on by the inside play of Carlos Arroyo and the versatile game of Mike Yildiz, the Guards came back with an 11-0 run. The duo, which scored all of Bell-Jeff's first-quarter points, connected with 1:18 left in the period when Yildiz found Arroyo in the paint for a bank shot that gave Bell-Jeff a 13-12 lead. The Rebels never led again. In the second quarter, Bell-Jeff (23-6) opened up the court, finding points from baskets by five different players. Casey Markovic Jr., who finished with nine points and nailed a 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter, found his mark from the outside, freeing up the interior for Arroyo and Andy Bunning (six points). Defensively, the Guards broke down the Flintridge Prep offense. They held the Rebels to five second-quarter points, forcing bad shots and scaling away Flintridge Prep's composure. Yildiz, who led the Guards on both sides of the court, snatched the ball from the Rebels twice in the quarter, collecting four steals on the night.
