[kiddman32]

Quarter starts out right for SPSV, Dishon fouled while making a hook shot... But he misses the FT, and Damien follows with a 3. 57-46.

 

[kiddman32]

7:04 left... SPSV needing a big run here...Damien will have none of it. 3-pointer good. 60-46.

Dishon fouled, finally makes an FT... misses the 2nd.

Damien nails a 3... 63-47.

Pair of FT’s good for SPSV, but Malik Thomas scores his 23rd and 24th points for Damien on a short J... 65-48.

At least the commute to Vallejo will be light on this holiday...

 

[kiddman32]

3:47 left... 70-54, Damien winning comfortably...

 

[kiddman32]

SPSV is 100% into the hack-and-hope mode... But finally it ends 79-60 Damien.

 

[kiddman32]

After a move by me down to the other end of the court (necessitated by a need for space to use this keyboard and stuff), here’s comes the Salesian-Pacifica Christian game. Pacifica has a guy named Judah Brown who will run the board right here in Moraga for the Gaels next year... And a junior named Houston Mallete who has numerous offers... He played at Salesian as a freshman.

 

[kiddman32]

Sawyer has both of Salesian’s. Buckets... they lead 4-0.

 

[kiddman32]

Salesian scores again, 6-0... 4:25 left in the 1st.

 

[kiddman32]

Pacifica finally off the schneid... 6-2.

 

[kiddman32]

Anothr inside bucket for Pacifica... 6-4. 3:04 left 1st.

Salesain scores off a nice baseline inbounds... 8-4. 2:03 left, then Pacifica turns it over.

But Salesian turns it back over...

NICE pass to Sawyer in the paint... 10-4..

But Sawyer charges next time down... Pacifica probably will get last shot here... steal. Pass to a runout... score! 12-4 end of 1.

 

[kiddman32]

Got to talking to a guy... anyway, it is now 21-11 Salesian, 4:13 left in the half.

 

[kiddman32]

WOW!! Fantastic alley-oop dunk by Salesian’s Bell!! 31-13. Pride is taking care of this one bigtime!

And that’s the halftime score...

 

[SF_Mikey]

No answer to Sawyer inside. Salesian definitely rolling in this one. PC has a few decent players but Salesian looks superior in every category including depth.

 

[kiddman32]

39-17 now, 2:03 left 3rd... Big Salesian dunk on a fast break a minutes ago...

Bell steal, and another dunk, assist by Bell to the same dunker, Damarshay Johnson.

 

[kiddman32]

Not much scoring going on here... 41-24 Salesian. Sawyer scores on a nice spinning post move, 43-24 and FT... Good.

 

[kiddman32]

Sawyer scores inside again... He has 17. 46-26.

 

[superle]

Sounds like salesian is more dominant then Pacifica Christian. In All phases.

Sawyer scores inside again... He has 17. 46-26.

 

[kiddman32]

50-35 final.

 

[kiddman32]

Next up... De La Salle vs. Central Catholic of Portland... Yeah, I’ve been in their gym.. (lived 18 years in the Portland metro area). They wen’t one of my fave teams, but over the years I probably saw them play 25-30... or more.. times...

They are ranked #1 in Oregon, or at least they were until they were upset twice in league games the last week and a half or so... But they played both Mater Dei and Bishop Gorman tough during the Les Schwab Invitational... So, which Central Cath will show up tonight?

 

[kiddman32]

DLS fouls, Central makes one of two. 18-13. DLS charges... 1:40 left... the foul was bonus.. CC makes one, and two. 18-15. What looked like a dominant DLS for a good while has turned into a close game. DLS fouled, 1 of 2 made. 19-15, but Central races down and scores in a hurry. 19-17... DLS miss, another runout, 19-19! DLS fouled with less than a second left, makes 1 of 2.. Desperation Central try just misses. Halftime score: DLS 20, Central Catholic 19.

 

[kiddman32]

Trade of 3’s to open the half, but Central scores inside next time down.. and theny score agin the next time... 26-23. And again... DLS better start figuring out this sticky zone, or maybe hit some shots... Another miss, 28-23...
