We were out at various tournaments all week, and are posting recaps of the week. This is a late recap of what occurred this past Saturday, December 28, 2001. There were no league games played, so we have only tournament results to report. Most of the scores and details from the action that took place is shown below, but if we're missing a score, it's either because no one sent it to us, or it wasn't reported by the local papers (the ones which happened to be available at the time) or on the various newspapers' websites.

Covina 74, Bishop Amat 68-- Jino La Bomme scored 21 points for Covina (13-1). With time running out in Saturday's game against Bishop Amat, the Covina High School boys basketball team was in trouble. The Colts, playing in the finals of their own tournament, had built a second-quarter, 20-point lead before the Lancers fought back and closed the gap to three points with 2:32 remaining. But some timely shooting and solid defense helped Covina secure the victory and tournament championship, 74-68. The Colts improved to 13-1. Jino La Bomme led all Covina scorers with 21 points. Pill and Vernon Covington scored 19 points apiece. Emmanuel Olayinka rounded out Covina's scoring leaders with 11 points. Bishop Amat (12-3) had its 10-game winning streak snapped, but coach Ray Walker didn't see Saturday's game as anything but a learning experience. John Haywood scored a game-high 24 points for the Lancers, while Paul Porter added 21. Andrew Soto was the third-highest Bishop Amat scorer with eight points. It wasn't that the Lancers played poorly, but they fell victim to Covina's extensive defensive pressure. The Colts clogged up passing lanes, which disrupted Bishop Amat's flow on the offensive end. Covina also drew several offensive foul calls. Starting Lancers Josh Myles didn't play much in the first half after drawing two quick charging calls. Neither did Haywood, another pivotal player for Walker's team who was benched after three first-half fouls. Both team shot poorly at the outset, but Covina went ahead 15-10, thanks to eight first-quarter points from Covington. The second quarter was where the sparks started to fly, thanks to the Colts' stifling defense. A three-pointer by Pill, followed by a slam dunk by Covington, sparked a 9-0 run that gave Covina a 34-18 lead with 1:18 left before halftime. Another 3-pointer by La Bomme early in the third quarter put the Colts ahead 61-41. Haywood's and Porter's 10 and 11 third-quarter points, respectively, brought the Lancers back into contention. By the start of the fourth quarter, the Colts still led by by 12 points. Haywood kept his hot hand and scored another 11 points over the game's final eight minutes. Porter's shooting cooled off somewhat, as he went 2-for-8 from the field in the fourth quarter.

San Joaquin (Fresno) Memorial 69, Garces (Bakersfield) Memorial 65--San Joaquin Memorial senior Antonio Lawrence was clearly the most dominant player on the floor Saturday night, but his freshman teammate Dwain Williams proved to be the difference. Late in the fourth quarter against Garces, Williams showed little signs of his youthful appearance. The 6-foot point guard shook off a lackluster start, scoring 11 of his 17 points in the final quarter to compliment a 36-point outburst from Lawrence as the Panthers upset the Rams, 69-65, in the final game of the Garces Holiday Hoops Classic. With the game tied 52-52, Williams scored seven straight points, including a 25-foot 3-pointer, and finished off the run with a backhand layup that gave the Panthers a 59-54 lead with 4:10 to play. San Joaquin improved to 8-5. With his team ahead just 65-63 with less than a minute to play, Williams scored on a drive and later clinched the game with a steal and layin to make it 69-63 with five seconds to play Williams' finish complemented a dominant performance from Lawrence, who sank six 3-pointers, including an off-balance shot from the beyond the arc to beat the 35-second clock that gave SJM a 23-16 lead with 20 seconds left in the first quarter. Lawrence also made a key steal and baseline dunk over 7-foot Robert Swift to cut the Rams lead to 47-45 late in the third quarter, just when it appeared Garces might pull away. Both Lawrence and Williams are new to the San Joaquin program. Lawrence relocated to the Fresno area from Jacksonville, Fla., while Williams moved from Los Angeles. San Joaquin's late-game heroics overshadowed a strong performance by Swift and junior point guard Kyle Shiloh. Both players finished with 23 points, including several key baskets, to help keep the Rams (13-4) in the game. Swift followed up Lawrence's dunk, with a two-hand jam in traffic just seconds later, temporarily halting the Panthers' momentum. He also pulled down 12 rebounds and blocked five shots. San Joaquin led most of the game, leading by as many as eight in the second quarter. But Garces started chipping away at the lead behind the inside play of Swift and the quickness of Shiloh. Shiloh scored on two baseline drives and Swift added a follow basket with 10 seconds left in the half to cut the Panthers' lead to 37-35. The Rams continued their run in the second half, and took a 44-40 lead when Shiloh scored, was fouled and converted the free throw for a three-point play, capping a 9-3 run with 3:50 left in the third quarter. Garces held the lead until Lawrence nailed a 3-pointer to tie it at 52 just seconds into the final quarter, and Williams followed with seven straight points to give Memorial the lead for good. San Joaquin's Lawrence, Williams and Gabriel Treadwell were named to the all-tournament team, along with the Rams' Shiloh and Anthony Esparza.

Las Vegas 69, Crossroads (Santa Monica) 38--[From the Las Vegas Review Journal]: "Las Vegas wasn't about to let a fast start go to waste. The Wildcats saw a day earlier the type of havoc Crossroads (Calif.) guards could wreak on opponents. But Robert Locke and Joe Abrahams did little with hands in their faces all night. In fact, Abrahams finished with no points and Locke with five, which was 45 points less than the duo had Friday in a win over Cheyenne. Shutting down the Roadrunners' guards and playing with non-stop intensity were the keys Saturday as the Wildcats turned the Las Vegas Prep Championship title game into a rout in a hurry, breezing to a 69-38 win at Las Vegas High School. Atwater scored 24 points and had 10 rebounds for Las Vegas (16-2), which earned its eighth straight win in the last 10 days. Stanley Copeland had eight assists. The Wildcats pounced on the Roadrunners (7-5) from the start, scoring the first eight points of the game and racing to a 37-19 halftime advantage. The lead grew to 53-24 with 9:49 left on an Atwater follow. The Wildcats finished the game with a 10-point run. Other than Jordan Rush, who scored a game-high 28 points, Crossroads had no offense or answers. The Roadrunners were also outrebounded, 31-18.

Cheyenne (Las Vegas) 86, A.B. Miller (Rialto, CA) 78 -- In the third-place game, the Desert Shields were still undermanned because of injuries to Chad Ferguson and Eric Ashley. But their seniors stepped up, sophomore Chris Davis responded with 14 points, and Cheyenne fought back from a 12-point first-half deficit. Johnny Wheeler put on a highlight-reel offensive display, scoring 35 points that included several dunks. Keith Richardson had 15 points, seven assists and four steals. Kevin Richardson did everything but score, getting nine rebounds, six assists and five steals. It didn't look good early for Cheyenne as the Runnin' Rebels (14-3) scored easy baskets in building a 26-14 lead with 9:43 left in the first half. But the Desert Shields responded with a 22-5 burst that put them ahead for good. Cheyenne (17-3) led by as many as 15 points in the second half. Only an inability to make foul shots (13 of 33) kept the Desert Shields from putting more distance between themselves and the Runnin' Rebels, who got 33 points from Jacob Ramirez. Senior 6'-1" guard Jacob Ramirez scored 33 points and Jeremiah Ward added 18 points in the loss for A.B. Miller (14-3). T.J. Smith scored 12 points and Victor Mitchell added 11 points in the loss for the Rebels.

Leon Rosborogh scored 27 points for King, which outscored Peninsula, 12-8, in the second overtime. The score was 59-59 at the end of regulation. The Wolves took the fifth-place game in double overtime because the Panthers couldn't make free throws that would have sealed the game in regulation.

Green Valley (Las Vegas) 51, McQueen (Reno) 44 -- In the seventh-place game, the Gators ruled the backboards in building a 12-point first-half lead and withstood several surges to become the second Southern Nevada team to knock off the Lancers in the tournament. Green Valley led 30-18 before McQueen scored the final eight points of the first half. The Lancers, paced by J.J. Myatt's 18 points, were within 43-40 midway through the second half. Jon Osborne had 13 points and Ron Dunlap 10 for the Gators. Mitch Platt had nine of his 10 rebounds in the first half to single-handedly outrebound McQueen during that stretch. Green Valley enjoyed a 21-8 rebounding advantage in the first half.

Temecula Valley (CA.) 54, Centennial (Las Vegas) 53 -- In the ninth-place game, the Bulldogs came up just short despite double-figure scoring from three players. Jahmon Smith had 15, Lincoln Rogers 13 and Chris Fuller 12 for Centennial. Ross Green's 15 points led the Golden Bears.

He made six of the Apaches' 11 3-pointers against the Crusaders and five of Centennial's eight against the Jackrabbits. Centennial, a Division III team, has been eliminated in the CIF state Division III playoffs by eventual state champion Bishop Montgomery the last two years.

Oakland Tech 66, Modesto Christian 63-- Oakland Tech ended up beating the Crusaders for the second time this season, but this score, 66-63, was far different than the 77-58 whipping the Bulldogs gave to MC earlier this season. In the third-place game, Oakland Tech's full-court press -- led by Fresno State-bound point guard Armando Surratt (game-high 20 points and eight assists) -- forced 22 turnovers. Still, MC had its chances. Down 61-54 with less than two minutes remaining, the Crusaders caught fire. With 1:53 remaining, Bobby Cole II (eight points) hit a layup off a pass from David Paris. With 1:18 remaining, freshman point guard Patrick Macki (11 points) made two free throws to pull within 61-58. Oakland Tech's Kevin Moore made two free throws to give the Bulldogs some breathing room, but Macki ran down the court and nailed a 3-pointer to pull MC within two. After Quinton Thomas' two free throws gave Oakland a four-point lead, Macki was fouled while attempting a long-range shot with 11.8 seconds remaining. Although he appeared to be behind the 3-point line, the referees ruled he wasn't -- so he shot two free throws instead of three and made them both. Surratt was fouled on Oakland's next possession, made one free throw, and the Bulldogs escaped. Macki and sophomore forward Andray Glenn were called up from the junior varsity team after senior guard Brian Donham underwent surgery Saturday morning to insert pins into the broken left foot he suffered in Friday's quarterfinal win. Donham most likely is out for the rest of the season. Last year the Crusaders won the tournament championship. Oakland Tech forward Kenneth Smith fell to the hardwood floor with a resounding slam midway through the second quarter, suffering a concussion. He had to be helped to his team's bench and was later transported to Emmanuel Hospital in Turlock.

The East Union High boys basketball team was happy to make it to the Silver bracket championship game Saturday at the Modesto Holiday Hoops Classic. It didn't matter that the Lancers were routed 88-47 by two-time defending state Division III champion Bishop Montgomery. Each Union coach Eric Simoni was pleased that the Lancers got that far. There were moments when East Union (11-5) seemed on the verge. But open shots rimmed out, and the Knights kept forcing turnovers and getting easy layups on the other end. The tournament was also a good showcase for the Lancers, a team that plays on emotion and likes to get out on the fast break. The silver bracket was composed of the teams that went 1-1 in pool play the first two days.

Bishop Montgomery 61, Skyline/Oakland 50-- Gavin Lee scored 20 points for Bishop Montgomery.

Mt Carmel 61, Poway 58-- It took everything Mt. Carmel had to hold off a late Poway rally. The Titans had a chance to tie the game when an errant Sundevils pass went out of bounds, giving Poway the ball with six seconds remaining. But Poway forward Mike Merrick's 3-point shot bounced off the rim, giving Mt. Carmel (7-8) its third consecutive victory over the Titans (8-7). Mahoney scored seven points, including a huge 3-pointer with 46 seconds remaining that broke a 56-56 tie and put the Sundevils ahead for good. The Titans were led by 6-foot-7 center Alan Wiggins. The junior had 18 points and 10 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to make up for his team's 19 turnovers. Poway 16 17 11 14 -- 58 Mt.

Canyon Springs 77, Rowland 62 -- The Canyon Springs High School boys basketball team used an impressive second quarter and eventually went on to defeat Rowland, 77-62, in Saturday night's championship game of the inaugural Nogales Tournament at Nogales. The Cougars started the game sluggishly by missing their first five field-goal attempts. Rowland also struggled with five early turnovers. The Cougars managed to get on track after Tron Smith and Rich Cobb hit consecutive three-pointers for a 19-12 lead. Canyon Springs continued its late momentum with a 5-0 run to start the second quarter. The run was capped off by Smith's dunk in traffic. The Raiders ended the run when Vashon Pruitt connected on a three-pointer to make it 24-15. But the Cougars made another run, this time a 6-0 streak, that again was capped off by another Smith basket for a 30-15 advantage. Canyon Springs toughened up on defense in the second quarter. The Cougars also were effective from three-point range by connecting on 4 of 7 shots, including 2-for-3 from Cobb in the second quarter. Canyon Springs had all the momentum as it led 43-29 at intermission. Rowland came to life in the third quarter as Larry Tiu scored six consecutive points to make it 43-35. After Canyon Springs' Andre McGee hit a three-pointer, the Raiders toughened up defensively and got within five points, 50-45, with three minutes left in the quarter. But Canyon Springs, which had gone cold in the third quarter by missing 5 of 6 three-pointers, went inside to its big men and used an 8-2 run to end the quarter with a 58-47 lead. McGee scored on a three-point play to give the Cougars a 61-47 lead to start the fourth quarter, but Tiu started to rally the Raiders with five consecutive points to cut the deficit to nine. The Cougars' defense, however, shut down Tiu and the Raiders for a five-minute stretch, and Cobb scored five consecutive points in a 12-0 run to regain control of the game. Richard Cobbs, who finished with 18 points while going 3 for 5 on three-pointers, was named as the tournament's MVP. Stovall said he was thrilled to see him win the award.

Tri-City Christian 62, Arrowhead Christian 51-- Senior 6-5 center Josh Breckley scored 10 points and took 11 rebounds, but the Eagles (7-2) could never work out of a first-half deficit and fell in the third-place game of the Ontario Christian tournament.

Mater Dei 84, Corona Centennial 67 --Wesley Washington scored 21 points for ninth-ranked Mater Dei (10-4). J.R Reese scored 22 points for eight-ranked Corona Centennial (11-2). Mater Dei led, 34-32, at halftime and opened the third quarter on a 8-0 run. Two weeks ago, Mater Dei lost to Centennial in the championship game of the Tournament of Champions. Strawberry, who scored a team-high 20 points Saturday night and was voted the tournament most valuable player, said the Monarchs learned quite a bit from that loss to Centennial and those three consecutive losses in Oregon. The Monarchs (11-4) came out fired up against the Huskies (11-2) Saturday night. An 18-3 Mater Dei run in the first quarter enabled the Monarchs to carry a 12-point lead into the second. Six Mater Dei turnovers and a Centennial's 9-for-14 shooting in the second quarter helped the Huskies' cut their deficit to two at halftime.

The Monarchs' Harrison Schaen scored 14 with 10 rebounds.

Senior forward Jonathan Friar and senior guard Herbi Brown also scored 16 points each for Cabrillo. Rockett and Friar were selected to the all-tournament team.

Costa Mesa 59, Foothill 55 --David Conte made five three-pointers and finished with 29 points, five rebounds and five assists for Costa Mesa (10-5). Chad Vakili also made five three-pointers, four in the fourth quarter, and finished with 22 points for the Mustangs. Francisco Flores had 19 points for Foothill (9-6).

points. Conte, who dished out five assists and grabbed five rebounds, scored 116 points in the four games in the tournament (29 points per game). Vakili, who also had five three-pointers, scored 14 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, hitting three three-pointers for the Mustangs (10-5).

Arcadia 58, St. Francis 41--A quick start, clutch free-throw shooting and quality play from their seniors were the key ingredients as Arcadia High's boys basketball team claimed the San Gabriel Tournament championship with a 56-41 victory over St. Francis on Saturday. The victory for the Apaches was impressive on three fronts: It marked a season-best fourth consecutive win. It gave the team 11 victories, satisfying the primary criteria for at-large consideration into the CIF-Southern Section playoffs. It was also the program's first varsity tournament title in nine years. But the Apaches' game-opening, 21-8 scoring run soon was wiped out when St. Francis outscored Arcadia (11-4) 16-3 in the second quarter to take a four-point halftime lead. Seniors Brent Dohling (20 points) and Aaron Anderson (17 points) then started clicking offensively and the Apaches were back in control. Dohling was named Tournament MVP and teammates Anderson and Donte Owens were All-Tournament selections. Arcadia made 8 of 10 free throws down the stretch to seal the outcome.

Nikiski (Alaska) 53, Gladstone 42 --David Holloway scored 27 points for Nikiski.

Rialto 57, Upland 53--Rialto beat defending tourney champion Upland at its own game -- defense -- and held on for a 57-53 victory to win the tournament at Coussoulis Arena, Rialto's first Kiwanis title in its first championship appearance. Tournament MVP Sean Green, a 6-foot-3 sophomore scored 17 points and hauled in eight rebounds. Rialto (9-5) outhustled, outworked and executed better than Upland (11-4). It forced 22 turnovers (12 steals) and outrebounded Upland 34-29, controlling the defensive glass while playing man-to-man defense throughout. The Knights led 37-23 with 7:22 left in the third quarter on the second of two three-pointers from Getano Johnson (11 points) on consecutive Rialto possessions. The Highlanders clawed back within 56-53 on TyeJuan Hatter's layup with 31 seconds left. That's when Rialto showed its resiliency. Upland's Julius Coleman missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 19 seconds left but 6-foot-6 Todd Martin grabbed the offensive rebound. He went back up but was blocked by Rialto's 6-foot-3 Mike Robertson. Martin again went up and Robertson again sent it back. Hatter grabbed the loose ball but was stripped by Kenny Autry (9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals. Rialto turned the ball over when Green was called for traveling before attempting a breakaway dunk, but Martin's inbounds pass to midcourt was picked off by Robertson (11 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals) with four seconds left. Johnson and Autry were named all-tournament, with Autry receiving the Fox Memorial Award for his leadership and inspirational play. Hatter and Jay Rasch were named all-tournament for Upland.

Cajon 62, Etiwanda 58-- Sophomore 6-foot-3 forward Tony Danridge scored the game-winner on a layup with 18 seconds left in overtime for the Cowboys, who won three of their four tournament games. Senior 5-11 guard Kris Silvas added a pair of free throws with four seconds left to seal the victory.

Lincoln 58, Santa Barbara 50-- The Abes forced the Dons into 18 turnovers and overcame a smothering inside defensive effort by Santa Barbara to win 58-50 and repeat as Holiday Classic champions. Santa Barbara, 8-7, also prides itself on defense and came into Saturday night's game determined to prevent Lincoln's Oregon State-bound center Justin Holt from keeping up his hot scoring pace. Holt, who led the tournament with 72 points for the first three games, didn't score a field goal in the first half and finished with just nine points. Robert Crawford, a 5-11 senior guard, scored 15 points and had three second-half steals while 5-1 point guard Andre Anderson added 12 points and four assists. Santa Barbara kept it close through the first half. Two baskets by Santiago Aguirre and a 3-pointer by Preston Maloney keyed a 9-0 run in the first quarter as the Dons went ahead 9-5. Aguirre put the Dons ahead 13-11 early in the second quarter but it was the last time Santa Barbara would lead. Anderson made a basket and two free throws and Kevin Ahlstand added a basket to put the Abes up 17-13. Two free throws by Stephen Oyelowo brought Santa Barbara within one at 22-21 and Coury Clemens sank two at the end of the half to make it 26-23. But the Dons were only 5-of-13 on free throws in the first half. Lincoln scored the first 10 points of the second half. The Dons rallied in the fourth period, closing to 47-41, on a three-point play by Aguirre and two free throws by Taylor Rochestie after a technical foul was called on Holt. Santa Barbara turned the ball over on the ensuring possession, however, and could never get any closer. Aguirre, the Dons' scoring leader with 14, and Dante DeRose scored to make it 56-50 but less than a minute remained and it passed uneventfully, with just two free throws by Anderson.

Jonathan Pickert banked in a 30-foot 3-pointer to send the game into overtime but the Chargers managed only two free throws by Friessen in the extra period. Pickert, named to the all-tournament team, is the Chargers' leading scorer but he had a rough night shooting, hitting just two of 21 attempts as Pasadena double- and triple-teamed him defensively.

Cambria Coast Union 54, North County Christian 36--details were not available

See the official tournament website for results (that is, assuming the official website is still functioning--it was completely inoperable during the tournament, the result no doubt of poor planning by the tournament operators in choosing a host which could (or was willing) to handle the amount of traffic which resulted once the tournament started.).

The Inglewood and Redondo boys basketball teams had to travel to all the way to Delaware for a preview matchup of the top two teams in the Bay League. The trip was well worth it for Inglewood, which held off a late comeback from Redondo to pull out a 62-59 victory in the consolation final of the prestigious Slam Dunk to the Beach Challenge. The Sentinels led by as many as 10 points in the third quarter and eight in the fourth, before the Sea Hawks' Wendell White and Keith Ellison hit back-to-back 3-pointers late in the game to close the gap to two. But Ray Reed, who had a game-high 22 points, hit four free throws in the final minute to seal the game for Inglewood (10-2), which hopes this game serves as a precursor for league games scheduled for Jan. 15 and Feb. 5. Jason McKinney contributed 21 points and nine assists, including five 3-pointers as the Sentinels sank 10 from 3-point range. McKinney hit a running 3-pointer at the end of the first half to tie the score at 31 and hit another 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter to give Inglewood a 52-42 lead. DeAngelo Collins, averaging 25 points and 17 rebounds in the tournament, had another solid performance with 11 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks for Inglewood, including a block of a potential 3- pointer at the end of the game. Inglewood beat Samford and Bishop Carroll of Washington D.C. in the tournament, but lost to Rainier Beach of Seattle. White paced Redondo with 21 points and nine rebounds, and Ellison contributed 16 points and seven rebounds. Adam Zahn scored 14 points for Redondo, which also saw the return of Eddie Topps, who had been sidelined with a foot injury all season.
