[larry legend33]

Elk Grove vs Pondo will be a great game.
Pondo is 14-0 and this will test them .

 

[kiddman32]

I hope that gets on NFHS or something...

 

[kiddman32]

Looks like the games will be on YouTube... NorCalSportsTV's channel.

The Moreau Catholic-Cosumnes Oaks game had been scratched

 

[larry legend33]

I hope that gets on NFHS or something...

Yeah. Could be Pondo first L which wouldn’t be the worse thing. Elk Grove is really sound. I’m going to try to go out and watch it.

Technically Pondo already has an L - they lost their foundation game to Union Mine in their own house. 78-73.

 

[bballpeep]

Updated schedule for today:
12.30 El Camino v Lincoln (Stockton)
2.00 Edison (Stockton) v Capital Christian
3.30 Elk Grove v Ponderosa
5.00 Weston Ranch v Sheldon

 

[kiddman32]

Looked like Lincoln was gonna totally boat-race El Camino early on, but the Eagles closed the first half with a 12-0 run to be down only 32-28 at the half.

 

[bballpeep]

El Camino lost a close one last night to CC. Its been years since they got that close to the Cougars. Good to see the program maturing.

 

[kiddman32]

Lincoln put the kibosh on that threat with a big 3rd quarter... 23-8 quarter, it's 53-36 to start the 4th.

 

[kiddman32]

One to watch in the future is Lincoln's 6'5" freshman Anthony Moore.

Just heard that El Camino is playing without their leading scorer... Looked him up, now I remember... Kiku Parker. Saw these guys at the Folsom tourney, it's all coming back to me.

Technically Pondo already has an L - they lost their foundation game to Union Mine in their own house. 78-73.

Technically, foundation games don’t count on a team’s record, and coaches may coach differently in those contests.

Realistically, Union Mine beat them.

 

[kiddman32]

Byrd goes out with 22 points, Lincoln leads 75-43. about 2 minutes left.

 

[kiddman32]

81-45 final... Quite a dominant 2nd half.

Please. Foundation games mean nothing. Don’t even know if they had all starters.
Pondo beats that team by 30+ if they play today.

 

[kiddman32]

9-0 start by Edison over Capital Christian...

 

[kiddman32]

CC stems the tide, sort of... 16-8 Edison after 1.

 

[kiddman32]

29-19 Edison at the half.

 

[kiddman32]

CC finally getting a little momentum early in the 3rd, 31-27.

 

[kiddman32]

Well... they were... Now it's 35-27.

 

[kiddman32]

Teams are 3 of 17 total from the FT line. Eeek.

 

[kiddman32]

38-31 Edison after 3... Physical, fast ball game despite the low score. 14 missed FT's will do that.

That was my point Larry. OP said technically Pondo already had a loss.

 

[kiddman32]

CC has gotten it to 43-36, gotten stops, taken it down the floor three times... and NUTHIN.

 

[kiddman32]

Finally, CC gets within 4... 1:44 left after they get another stop... but turn it over. 45-41 Edison, 1:22 left. and CC is fouled... 1 and 1. First good, 2nd... Airball. 45-42. CC gets a steal... and charges! Press broken for an Edison layup, CC right back down with a score... 47-44. 52 seconds left... Edison on their own baseline.

 

[kiddman32]

Edison breaks the press, CC fouls. Edison makes 1 at the line... 48-44. CC drive, blocked out of bounds, ball to CC. Edison steals another... He's fouled, misses BOTH in the double bonus... CC gets off a 3... GOOD! 48-47. Foul, first FT goes... 2nd one also. 50-47, 10 seconds left... and an Edison guy takes a charge! Edison inbounder thhrows it off a defender's back and takes it himself... He's fouled, sinks a pair of FT's, 52-47 with 4 seconds left... Quite a finish... CC calls time-out to hunt for a 5-point play, in other words this baby is ovah!

 

[kiddman32]

and that's the final. Quite a contest!

 

[kiddman32]

Next up, Pondo takes on Elk Grove, another potential barnburner.

 

[kiddman32]

Pondo starts off quick... 13-5 with under 3 left in the first q. They've nailed three triples already.

 

[kiddman32]

Pondo big man Aaron Bliss dings up ankle, goes out... 13-9 Pondo, 1:02 left in the 1st.

 

[kiddman32]

He didn't stay out long, though... Pondo took a time out while he recovered, and I think he was out for just one possession. But he doesn't look to be 100%. Still 13-9 at the end of the 1st q.

 

[kiddman32]

a little beyond halfway thru the 2nd... Pondo is up 27-15. Bliss appears to be just fine now. Now 29-15 after he jams one on the fast break, then serves up a Wilsonburger...

 

[kiddman32]

But the big guy gets his 2nd foul... He stays in. He is basically Pondo's only inside presence... But what a presence he is! I think he already has served back five shots. 29-15.

 

[kiddman32]

35-15 at the half... Pondo ain't no joke.

 

[kiddman32]

In addition to the big guy, they play terrific team defense, rarely out-of-position... And they are always on the move in the halfcourt offense, and they can hit shots.

 

[kiddman32]

To be fair, Elk Grove is playing without their starting center, 6'8" Dajon Lott.

 

[kiddman32]

49-26 after 3.

 

[larry legend33]

I’m telling people. Pondo is legit.

kidmann you see it!
