Game Scores and Details From
Friday 12/1/00--(Dec. 2, 2000)

These scores and game details are far from complete, but they're what we've managed to cobble together from what folks have sent us and from the data that's been published both in print and online from today's local papers.   We are missing some game details and we'll try to get them during the rest of the day.  Likewise, if you know of a game we've missed send it in to us either by e-mail or by posting it on the message board where we're sure to see it.

For those interested in just the scores, we've listed them first.  Where we have been able to get box scores and details, they are shown starting here (and by scrolling down from there).

Redondo was forced to play catch up the entire second half. As the deficit grew to 11 at 59-48, Redondo pulled a page from Westchester's playbook and used the full-court press to cause three consecutive turnovers. They were turned into six points and Redondo trailed by only five points.  But two Keith Everage free throws gave Westchester a seven-point lead at the end of the third.  On the first play of the fourth quarter, Heath hit a 3-pointer that stretched the lead to 10 at 64-54 and the race was on. With the double-digit lead, Westchester turned up the defensive pressure and wore down the Redondo offense.

Dos Pueblos 77, Lompoc 51--The Chargers finish the tournament 3-1, which leaves them in a tie for second behind Arroyo Grande. The Eagles beat Cabrillo 74-42 on Friday.   Dos Pueblos grabbed control of the game early, building a 12-7 lead with an 8-0 run and extending it to 24-14 by the end of the quarter. Steve Graybill led the way with nine points, while Sherman added five and Omar Cowan six.

He finished with nine points, which tied him for high scorer for the Braves. Eleven of the 12 Charger players scored and 14 of their 30 baskets came after assists.

Santa Barbara 71, Righetti 63--Santa Barbara High star Dommanic Ingerson scored only two points in the first half and received a double-technical foul for arguing with the referees with a little more than a minute left in the game. As he was leaving the court, Ingerson pointed to the "Santa Barbara" on his jersey and put two thumbs down. It was unclear exactly what the gesture meant, but he clearly was not a happy camper, despite a 71-63 win by the Dons. Righetti's Robert Osorio was the main reason the Warriors kept the game close as the senior scored a game-high 27 points while pulling down 13 rebounds. Ingerson, who had 102 points in his first three games, finished with 17 points.  Osorio, who was chewing up anyone the Dons (3-1 overall) could throw at him, was the soldier keeping Righetti (2-2) in the fight constantly getting second chance points.  Ingerson, who didn't start, wasn't a factor at all in the first half, hitting only 1-6 shots, but heated up a little bit in the second half, canning 6-13 shots, including three treys.  At the end of the pivotal third quarter, Righetti was down 50-40, and got as close as 65-60, but it was too little, too late. Stepping up to shoulder some of the offensive load was Trey Putnam, Dante Bogan and Kerry Russell. The three combined for 33 points on the evening, with Putnam scoring 15, Bogan had 10 and Russell finished up with eight. Putnam also had eight boards. RIGHETTI -- Osorio 27, Comeau 13, McCutcheon 8, Hampton 8, Ramos, 6.  SBHS --Ingerson 17, Putnam 15, DeRose 12, Bogan 10, Russell 8, Koester 6, Waterman 3. Righetti . . . 15 16 10 23 -- 63  Santa Barbara . . . 18 12 19 21 -- 71  3-point goals -- R 2-16 (Hampton 2), SB 4-13 (Ingerson 3). Rebounds -- R 29 (Osorio 13), SB 27 (Putnam 8).
