D2 boys…. Jesuit v Chatsworth

[kiddman32]

Jesuit is ranked #21 in CA
Chatsworth is ranked #27.

Star attraction, the amazing Alijah Arenas of Chatsworth, who is averaging 30 a game.

Jesuit’s D will be tasked….

 

[H.E.A.T.]

imagine being ranked 21st and 27th and playing for 44th place

 

[kiddman32]

However, I made Jesuit a slight favorite.

Can they do what Monterey did to Arenas and co. last year? He scored 44, but Monterey won anyway.

Arenas has more help around him this year, but Jesuit’s game is strong, probably stronger than what Monterey had last year.

I don’t care. You play in the bracket where they placed you, and you keep playing as long as they provide opponents for you. When they run out of teams for you to play, you win the banner.

No matter the level, winning a state tourney is a great thing.

I doubt any school will hide a banner in a closet just because it’s not Open.

7-2 Chatsworth at the media break….

Jesuit righted the ship and no longer looks outmatched. Chatsworth big looked a little a bit injured late 2nd quarter. Jesuit up 29-25 @ halftime.

 

[kiddman32]

29-25 at the half…. and a 50-footer by Jesuit at the buzzer caught inside iron before bouncing out.

Arenas has 11, being contained fairly well so far…

Jesuit is 10 for 24, 5 of 13 from behind the arc.

Chatsworth is 10 of 20, 3 of 10 from the arc.

Very few fouls called.. but Jesuit is perfect from the line, 4 of 4. and Chatsworth is 2 of 4.

Arenas with 11 points / Phillips with 7 for Jesuit. Jesuit is employing Curry tilt towards Arenas and making him work for it and making the Arenas-ettes beat them.

Wow Jesuit really impressed me after a bit of a slow start. Great win with a ton of Red in the crowd representing their school. The Jesuit band makes it sound like a Riordan home game.
