Apparently, Concord isn’t fielding a frosh team this year, so the Cougs are playing Benicia before the JV’s and Varsity host Concord.

Cougs sink a J at the quarter buzzer to take the lead 10-9.

Benicia runs off seven straight in the next minute,,, 21-14.

Andddddddd…. that’s the half, 21-14.
 
Cougs get a 3 to fall from downtown Cleveland at the quarter buzzer, it’s 26-25 Benicia.
 
Scoreless 4th q so far, 4:25 left.

Now 28-25, 3:16 left, Cougs ball…

3 from the corner to tiiiiieeeee…. Nope.

Hasn’t exactly been pretty here, but definitely no as ugly a game as the score sounds.. Benicia sinks a FT, 29-25, 2:23 left.
 
Steal, driving try nope…. Cougs get another stop.. Time out Campo, 1:34 left, 29-25 Benicia.
 
the 3’s, just will… not… fall. 1:20 left, Benicia fouled, Makes 1.

FInally, a Coug score, midrange from the baseline. 30-27.

JV’s facing Concord…. the Minutebears don’t exactly evoke fear in the warmups…
 
Bears score first with a 3, but the Cougs run off 7 straight…. 5:24 left 1st, 7-3 Cougs.
 
21-9 Cougs after 1. This despite the fact the Cougs are playing down to the level of their competition, a little bit.
 
47-17 at the half…. Only thing keeping Concord even THAT close is the fact they hit four from beyond the arc.
 
59-25 after 3. The Cougs must have 40 more rebounds than Concord has.

Dunno if they do running-clock in JV’s, but we’ll be finding out soon…
 
Strong possibility we could get more of the same in the varsity game…. 24 minutes to tip.

The teams’ only common opponent so far is Athenian. Campo beat the Owls by 18, Concord lost to them by 27.

Hopefully, the Cougs will come out cookin’ and Coach Dyer gets to work with a big early lead and limit minutes, in anticipation of Thursday’s big battle with Clayton Valley Charter at their place.
 
Concord’s 3-11, but the good news is they are quite young, might be okay in a year or two. Can’t say they have a lot of help coming up from JV, tho…

Steal by Beld, pass to Joe Revelos. 48-14…. Concord answers, 48-16.

And, mercifully for Concord, the buzzer goes off. Halftime score, 48-16.

I think I’ll just give the limited-text version for the second half. :)
 
63-27, 1:48 left 3rd…. Concord doing everything they can in attempt to avoid the mercy-rule double-dip.
 
Campo freshman team could beat Concord varsity by 20+……Concord athletic program maybe the most pathetic sports program in the Bay Area right now
