Southern Section Games--Friday, Jan. 19, 2000

Academy League

Calvary Chapel Downey 106, St. Michael's 20

Almont League

Alhambra 63, San Gabriel 59--After taking advantage of Alhambra High School's errors and establishing an imposing lead, the San Gabriel High School boys basketball team self-destructed in the final 12 minutes, losing the Almont League game, 63-59, Friday night. After extending its lead to double digits, 40-30, midway through the third quarter, San Gabriel harmed itself, committing 13 turnovers in the final 12 minutes and allowing Alhambra to sneak back into the game. Finding seams inside early, the Matadors (11-9, 2-2) fed the ball to center Erik Avila, who scored a team-high 18 points, largely from inside shots. Adding to that a series of transition baskets off 15 first-half turnovers by the Moors (15-5, 3-1), the Matadors nursed a four- to six-point lead for two quarters, before extending the lead to 10 points with a pair of baskets by Avila and a pair of free throws awarded to San Gabriel after a Moor player spiked the ball in frustration. The Alhambra defense responded to the deficit, however, aggressively stealing errant passes and finding players downcourt for easy transition baskets. A lay-up off a stolen pass by Johnny Tan initiated a 16-3 run that would extend into the final quarter. Edwin Rosario, who scored 19 points, nailed a pair of 3-pointers on the run, including a fade-away shot from atop the key with 21 seconds to play in the quarter that gave the Moors their first lead since taking a short-lived 8-7 advantage in the opening minutes of play. Although the Matadors kept the game close for the remaining quarter, they failed to recapture the lead. Apart from three late baskets from the field, San Gabriel could only score from the free-throw line.  Chris Miller scored 18 points, including going 6-8 from the line. John Chow and J.R. Canizal each scored 13 points for San Gabriel in the losing effort.Erich Chung nailed two 3-pointers and scored 14 points for Alhambra.

Upland 102, Don Lugo 54

Claremont 66, Walnut 43

Bay League

Leuzinger 92, Morningside 89--Maurice Givens finished with only six points, but his two free throws with 3.2 seconds remaining were enough to give host Leuzinger the 92-89 Bay League victory over Morningside. Trying to give coach Carl Franklin his 499th career win, Morningside fought back from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit but missed shots by Khali Young and Martell Waller failed to give the Monarchs (7-8, 3-4) their first lead of the game. The Olympians (11-9, 3-4) hit 17-of-20 from the foul line; Derrick Smith, who scored a game-high 27 points and had six re bounds 10 assists and eight steals, was 7-of-8 in the fourth quarter and 9-of-10 for the game. Praise Odiakosa scored 24 points, 18 in the second half to lead Morningside.  Marlon Brisco scored 21, including 11 in the 4th quater and Young had 22 points. Morningside started the second half with a 6-0 run and was down four, 48-44, before Leuzinger went on a 13-7 run behind Darryn Gilliam, who finished with 16, to start the fourth quarter with a 11-point lead. Morningside was down by 12 with four minutes to play when Odiakosa ignited a 9-0 run and Brisco hit an inside jump-shot to bring the deficit to one, 88-87, the closest Morningside would get.

Redondo 63, Santa Monica 39-- Dijon Thompson scored 22 points and Adam Zahn contributed 13 points and eight rebounds to lift the Sea Hawks (14-5, 6-1) past the visiting Vikings (10-8, 1-5).

Ray Reed hit three 3-pointers among his 14 points and Teddy Fletcher had two 3-pointers account for half of his 12 points for Inglewood (18-4, 7-0). Bryan Carroll scored eight points to lead North (3-14, 1-6).

Camino Real League

Verbum Dei 64, Mary Star 41

Channel League

Dos Pueblos v. San Marcos--Dos Pueblos' basketball game at San Marcos High was canceled Friday as a result of potentially toxic fumes billowing from manhole covers in the Turnpike and Hollister area. No makeup date has been scheduled. Authorities were unsure of the nature or cause of the smoke, but determined that it was a potential health hazard and quickly closed off the area to traffic.

Buena 57, Santa Barbara 51--Ryan Cobos and Bobby Meyer each made a three-pointer in the final 1:10 and the Bulldogs (13-8, 2-2) upset the defending Channel League champion at Buena. Since this one is too hard to believe unless you were there, and we weren't, here's Dan Shiells' story from the Santa Barbara News-Press because he was there:  VENTURA -- The basketball-only season started for Santa Barbara High Friday night. Never mind that this is the middle of January, or that the Dons lost 57-51 at Buena in their new beginning. This was a basketball game. Nothing more, nothing less. And that was a good thing.  "We lost a game tonight," said SBHS forward Trey Putnam. "But it wasn't because of any distractions." The source of distraction for Santa Barbara has been its talented but troubled star guard, Dommanic Ingerson. The 6-foot-4 senior, who signed with Michigan this fall, started the season averaging 30 points a game but his performances since then have been erratic to say the least, marked by antics and gestures on the court that would probably make Dennis Rodman scratch his head. He was suspended for a week in mid-December for a double-technical outburst.  On Wednesday, in a loss to Ventura, Ingerson fouled out in about eight minutes of play and left the game with a bizarre parting gesture, wiping the ball on his forehead and hair before handing it to the referee.  On Friday, he was suspended "indefinitely." Principal J. R. Richards said the suspension was for "at least two games," but SBHS coach Jeff Lavender made it clear he was planning to play the rest of the season without Ingerson. "Our kids have been great," said Lavender. "They all love Dom and want what's best for him. Everyone on the team has tried to help him and we're still going to try to help. We want him to succeed. He's still on the team, he's just not playing."   Meanwhile, the Dons have some basketball to play and they gave that task their undivided attention Friday night. Putnam put in a particularly good effort with 20 points, many on spinning drives to the basket. Chris Koester added 11 points and eight rebounds. Dante Bogan added seven points and two assists, including one tossed backward over his head as he drove to the basket. Tucker Waterman also had seven points.  "We do need Dom, he's a very good player," said Putnam. "But it was nice not to hear the crowd getting on him for something he was doing." "It was easier to concentrate," added Bogan. The Dons trailed virtually the entire game, falling behind 21-10 early in the second quarter. But they rallied to tie at 35-35 on a rebound-basket by Putnam and took the lead briefly, 45-44, on a free throw by Logan Burrus with 3:30 to play. The Bulldogs broke a 47-47 tie with free throws by Nick Cunningham and Matt Colton but gained the separation they needed for a win when Bobby Meyer stroked a long 3-pointer to make it 52-47 with two minutes to play. Putnam scored to bring the Dons within a basket but a 3-pointer by Ryan Cobos with 26 seconds to play put the game away.  "We played hard; we battled all the way," said Lavender after his team dropped to 2-2 in the Channel League, 12-9 overall. "We had some shots we didn't make and Buena hit some big shots. But we did not lack for effort." And that, at least, was something to build on.  "We knew we would have some trouble tonight," said Putnam. "It's been hard because it's been so off and on. Would Dom show up, would he not? It's hard to get in sync. "Every guy on this team is capable of being an all-star," he added. "They've had to take secondary roles because of Dom. Now it's time to step up." Roosevelt Bolden led Buena (2-2, 13-8) with 15 points while Colton had 11. SANTA BARBARA -- Putnam 20, Burrus 1, Russell 2, Koester 11, DeRose 3, Waterman 7, Bogan 7. Totals 22 17-22 51. BUENA -- Bolden 15, Smith 5, Mikosa 6, Jacobsen 4, Meyer 9, Cobos 6, Colton 11, Cunningham 1. Totals 24 3-7 57. Santa Barbara . . . 10 15 12 14 -- 51 Buena . . . 17 12 11 17 -- 57  3-point goals--B 5 (Meyer 3, Cobos 2). Fouled out--none.|

Christian League

Arrowhead Christian Academy 77, Calvary Chapel Murrieta --Senior 6-5 forward Adam Dohner scored 39 points as the visiting Eagles (6-0, 15-4) defeated the Warriors (0-6 in league) in a Christian League game. Senior 6-3 forward Nick Goltry added 13 points and seven rebounds for Arrowhead Christian, while senior 6-1 guard Chris Becerra had 12 points.

Citrus Belt League

Eisenhower 70, Rialto 59--Ike (4-0 in CBL, 15-4 overall) took advantage of its size advantage to outrebound the Knights 13-6 in
the opening quarter, and 37-20 for the game. Rialto's tallest player is 6-4.  The Eagles have four starters 6-foot-4 or taller, with 6-7 Johnny Dukes lining up at center. They also have two 6-6 reserves in Jameel James and Marcus Sams. Sams grabbed 12 rebounds, while sophomore forward
Sean Marshall had eight and Alex Acker seven. Marshall did most of his damage on the offensive end six of his eight rebounds were offensive and led to
putbacks. He had five rebounds in the first four minutes and led all scorers with 21 points.  Rialto (2-1, 12-6) went on an 11-3 run to end the third quarter to cut the Ike lead to 54-47. A basket  by Mike Williams pulled them to 55-51 with seven minutes left in the game. But Dukes led Ike on a 7-2 run that put the game out of reach. Dukes finished with 15 points and four rebounds. Point guard Carl Gales led the Knights with 20 points.

Redlands 76, AB Miller 56--  Alex Graham and Bryan Roberts each had a double-double to help the Redlands High School boys basketball team to a 76-56 victory over A.B. Miller on Friday in Citrus Belt League play. G raham had 20 points, 15 rebound and six blocks, while Roberts had 21 points
and 10 rebounds for the Terriers (1-3 in CBL, 11-8 overall), who earned their first league victory of the year. Jacob Ramirez scored 15 points to lead A.B. Miller.

Whittier slipped to 7-11 and 1-4.  Anthony Martinez scored 27 points to lead La Serna, but had to share game honors with Whittier sophomore Mike Hernandez, who capped his effort with an 11-point fourth quarter that included three of his four 3-pointers. La Serna shot 67 percent (12-of-18) in the first half, then came back with 56 percent (14-of-25) to finish with 60 percent (25-of-43).

Cathedral City 86, Palm Springs 65-- The victory kept the Lions in sole possession of first place in the DVL at 16-5, 6-0, while Palm Springs, which fought a good fight at home, fell to 10-8, 4-2. Senior Gerald DeVance led a scorching second-half surge for the Lions.

Paul Heredia scored 11 points, all in the first half, including three 3-pointers. The Lions poured in 10 3-pointers with DeVance leading the charge with four. DeVance also dished off 10 assists to complete a double-double. Gray finished with 11 points and Shewmake added 10, but both juniors were tough underneath and on the boards.  Palm Springs got into in foul trouble early when leading scorer Caleb Barton (12 ppg) was called for his third foul with 4:18 to play in the first quarter. The Lions led 60-46 after three quarters and had a solid effort from Gray in the second half. After scoring two points in the first quarter, he scored nine in the second half.

La Quinta 66, Palm Desert 50-- La Quinta improved to 5-1 in the DVL, the Blackhawks’ lone loss coming at the hands of four-time DVL champion Cathedral City.   La Quinta put the game away early. After Palm Desert took its only lead of the game, 6-2, the Blackhawks hit their next eight shots and converted on 4-of-5 from the free throw line in a 20-0 run (six points from Chris Marrujo, six points from Daniel Martinez, four from Guttierrez and three from Aaron Aceves) that put them ahead 22-6.  While La Quinta was running away with it, Palm Desert’s shooters went cold. The Aztecs were 4-of-12 from the floor during La Quinta’s run (they finished the quarter 4-of-14 from the floor, going 0-for-4 from the 3-point line).  Palm Desert made one last run by going on a 10-2 push that started with a pair of baskets from Aki Sator and Josh Zazulia at the end of the third. They also had a 9-2 run, in which they went 5-for-6 from the free throw line along with buckets from Gene Alexander and Dionte Harris, to open the fourth quarter to pull within eight points, 53-45, with three minutes remaining to play.

Empire League

Loara 54, El Dorado 48-- After trailing host El Dorado all game, the Saxons (14-5, 3-0) took a two-point lead when Chris Moses buried a three-point field goal with 3:16 remaining in the fourth quarter. The lead, and eventual 54-48 victory over the Golden Hawks (16-4, 2-1), was a result of the Saxons reclaiming the post and maintaining near perfection from the foul line.  Both of these qualities were demonstrated in their leading scorer, Nate Van Achen, who scored a game-high 24 points and shot 11 of 12 from the foul line.  The Golden Hawks offense was centered around junior center David Patten, who scored 15 points.  However, the Saxons seized the momentum in the third quarter. Bryce Sheldon scored six points in the quarter for the Saxons, including a shot off his own rebound after stealing the ball from El Dorado. The Golden Hawks escaped from the quarter barely hanging on to a 41-38 lead.  El Dorado got into foul trouble in the fourth quarter, taking the command out of their post game and opening the door for Loara. Early in the fourth quarter, Von Achen matched up with Patten on the low post and delivered field goals on two consecutive drives to the basket. 

Century 47, Kennedy 45--Chris Ferratti hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to lift the Centurions (11-9, 2-2) past the Fighting Irish (12-9, 2-2). 

Cypress 65, Katella 58--Jon Uyloan had 21 points, five rebounds and seven assists to lead the Centurions (10-9, 1-3) past the Knights (0-4 in league). Katella's Phillip Tyson led all scorers with 26 points.

Foothill League

Canyon 83, Burroughs 61--Despite 19 points from Keith Jarbo and 12 from Matt Torres, the Indians fell Friday in the Foothill League game Friday at Canyon. The Indians were hurt by a second quarter in which they were outscored, 25-14.

Frontier League

Santa Clara 61, Santa Paula 51--Center Alex Minney led host Santa Clara with 24 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks. Albert Soria scored 14 points, and Adrian Santana had 11 assists for Santa Clara (8-10, 3-1).

Nordhoff 60, Calabasas 46--Eric Bensley had 21 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Rangers (11-7, 3-1) to a Frontier League victory at Nordhoff. Calabasas (2-2 in league) scored just three points in the first quarter.

Golden League

Quartz Hill 59, Lancaster 55--The visiting Rebels (13-5, 3-1) pulled closer to a third consecutive Golden League championship and avenged an eight-point tournament loss to the Eagles (15-5, 4-1) six weeks ago. Down by three a minute before halftime, Quartz Hill stuck with its zone defense, which worked better and better because Lancaster shot worse and worse. The Rebels led by as much as 13, but in a game that saw neither team assert itself, Lancaster scored the last nine points to make it respectable. Quartz Hill guard Scott Langford scored 11 points. The win snapped Lancaster's winning streak at five games. Ryan Jefferson's 3-pointer clipped Quartz Hill's lead to 42-38 with two minutes remaining in the third quarter. But Johnson answered with an inside basket, a 3-pointer, a rebound basket and an 18-footer, helping to push the advantage to 53-40.  Senior Grant Drake, at 6-foot-3 Quartz Hill's tallest player, chipped in eight points. Lancaster's Michael Webb, who scored 15 points the first time the teams met, was limited to four, none in the second half. Teddy Myers, the Eagles' other dependable scorer, had five. Anthony Gamboa and Michael Wright led the Eagles with nine points apiece.

Golden League

Quartz Hill 59, Lancaster 55-- The Rebels used their outside shooting to take a big lead early in the fourth quarter, then held on for a 59-55 victory Friday afternoon that gave host Lancaster its first league loss. The Eagles are 4-1 in league play and will share first place with the winner of next Tuesday's Quartz Hill-Highland game. Both teams are 3-1.  Quartz Hill  is 13-4 overall.  Even down by 13 points, Lancaster (15-5) wasn't finished. The Eagles closed within six points (59-53) with 44 seconds left. Then their outside shooting, which had been cold all afternoon, betrayed them for the final time. Lancaster's normally strong perimeter shooting produced three 3-pointers all game. Three final misses from 3-point range in the last 20 seconds allowed the Eagles to only come within four points. Guard Tony Johnson, who led Quartz Hill with 18 points, gave the Rebels some breathing room at the end the third quarter.
