Campo frosh got worked a lil…. 51-37, never felt that close after Benicia started off with a 13-2 run. I think the closest the Cougs could get was 9.
 
Cougs JV leads 17-14 after 1…. Four consecutive missed layups on four trips down let ‘em back in it.
 
Cougs JV coach told me before the game that the Cougs could be good one day, bad the next…. Well, this is one of the GOOD days. 61-31 early in the 4th.
 
Benecia is 14-5, Campo 16-4.

Rankings: Cougs #69, Benecia #129

Sounds like Campo should be a moderately comfortable favorite…

But league gams are in many ways a different game than the non-league and showcase.tournament games…

Although, this one has one difference…. Most league opponents have played each other quite a bit over the years, and they seem to “know each other’s game” in those cases.

However, this is an experimental alignment for one year, and usually these two see each other only on occasion.

Ball goes up in three minutes…
