I arrived with 6 minutes to in the El Cerrito game... The Gaucho were trailing Benicia by 10 and Benecua scored again, but then EC made a huge comeback to win by 5 in regulation... Not the prettiest game by any stretch, but good competition anyway.

In the first game of the day. Burbank beat Center by something like 63-54.

Now we’re on to the West Campus v Damone Ranch from the Reno area... Not unsurprisingly, Damonte has the name of a casino sponsor on its warmups...

The Nevada guest is 7-11 thus far, and West Campus is 15-5. I notice that West Campus has a 6-4 guy, their biggest man... A freshman.

Not unsurprisingly, Damonte has the name of a casino sponsor on its warmups...

So, surprisingly? The double negative threw me.

 

[kiddman32]

Halftime... 32-27 west Campus. Highlight play came from Damonte Ranch, though... #4 sank a half court bomb to end the first q.

 

[kiddman32]

So, surprisingly? The double negative threw me.

Oops.

 

[RMAHOOPS76]

Bailey did not play for Burbank

 

[RMAHOOPS76]

Taylor is nice for West Campus

 

[laidbackcoach]

Running on time so far?

 

[kiddman32]

West Campus dominates the 2nd half to win 64-41.

 

[kiddman32]

Running on time so far?

So far, yup...

 

[kiddman32]

Now we have 15-6 Inderkum vs. 8-12 Capital Christian... That record may look bad, but CC has played a real man-sized schedule...

Inderkum is a new team for me... Never seen them, ever.

 

[kiddman32]

According to the rankings, this should be a good one... rankings are #23 and # 24.

 

[kiddman32]

Capital is pretty much dominating right now... 29-18 with 5 minutes left on the half.

 

[RMAHOOPS76]

Johnson for Capital has talent

 

[kiddman32]

And now it’s 40-18... big time run by CC.

 

[kiddman32]

46-22 CC large and in charge at the half.

Just looked at the roster.... CC is very young. I think only one senior in the rotation, just one more on the roster.

 

[kiddman32]

68-40, 2 min left 3rd... and that’s after 3 buckets off steals of lazy CC passes.

 

[kiddman32]

Just barely avoided the dreaded running-clock... 78-44 end of q

 

[kiddman32]

Got a running clock now... 92-53

 

[kiddman32]

94-58 final.

 

[kiddman32]

So now we have 14-5 Liberty of Brentwood v 15-7 Oak Ridge. Looks like OR has played a clearly tougher schedule...

 

[kiddman32]

22-17 OR after 1... looked at first like Liberty was gonna run off with it, but OR turned that right around.

 

[kiddman32]

35-31 Liberty at the half in a game of runs.... first one side would get 6 or 8 straight, then the other... Not much 1-1 bucket trading..

 

[kiddman32]

Continuing the big-run pattern.... Liberty opens the 3rd with 8 straight, but OR comes back with a run of their own to get back within 6 before Liberty spurts away again... quarter ends 54-43 Liberty.

 

[kiddman32]

Looks like Liberty’s gonna hold ‘em off... the scoring runs have disappeared for both teams. 73-60 with 1:48 left.

 

[kiddman32]

74-60 final, Liberty wins... Now we have 11-7 St Pat- St Vincent and 14-6 Woodcreek.

 

[kiddman32]

18-all after 1... Looking like we might have a real good matchup here.

 

[kiddman32]

29-28 SPSV at the half.

 

[kiddman32]

Jackson leads SPSV with 10, and Gheintor and Lattimore have 8 each for Woodcreek.

Very few fouls called in the first half... I didn’t see anyone in the book with more than one.

 

[kiddman32]

48-47 SPSV. After 3... kinda slow-paced halfcourt chess match , but now the 3’s are starting to fall for both teams...

 

[kiddman32]

Son as I said that about the pace, SOSV went to a man defense and zone three-quarter court press... 54-52 SPSV with 5:40 left

 

[laidbackcoach]

Still on time?

 

[kiddman32]

64-61 SPSV now, 1:27 left... OR ball.

 

[kiddman32]

But they fail to score... neither canSPSV... same score, 33 secs left. Edwards at the line for SPSV... both good. Time out, 66-61.

 

[kiddman32]

OR scores quickly on a putback... SPSV ball leading 66-63, 20 secs left.

 

[kiddman32]

SPSV hangs on, 67-63. Best game of the day so far.

 

[kiddman32]

Pleasant Valley of Chico, state champs last year, are 16-4. They face Sacramento, 12-6. Looking forward to this...

 

[kiddman32]

18-14 Sacramento after 1... PV is going to have to adjust to Sac’s speedy guards... turn and run earlier or something...

 

[kiddman32]

Sac full court pressure is becoming a problem, too... 22-14 Sac.

 

[kiddman32]

Halftime... 35-22 Sacramento... PV’s got some adjusting to do, Loocy...

 

[kiddman32]

PV. Hanging in there, but can’t make a dent in Sac’s lead. 56-42 with 1:09 left 3rd.
