El Cerrito Tourney...

[kiddman32]

Well... Here it is 16 minutes til game time... Grand total of 16 people in the stands???

What is UP with attendance this year??

Anyway... In my estimation, the two best teams in the tourney are tipping off in a few minutes..

Those teams are my fabulous Campolindo Cougars, and the quick, bouncy San Leandro Pirates.

 

[kiddman32]

Campo is up 12-11 after one q.

 

[kiddman32]

It’s been seesaw all the way... 22-21 Campo with 2:45 left in the half...

Nice nearly-new gym here at El Cerrito... And the shot clocks are broken.

 

[kiddman32]

25-22 Campo at the half.

 

[kiddman32]

30-all with 4:12 left in the 3rd...

 

[kiddman32]

Johnson just threw down a MONSTER one-hand dunk right over Campo’s center... 34-33 Campo

 

[kiddman32]

3rd quarter ends, 40-39 Campo

 

[kiddman32]

Super fresh Audan Mahaney fouls out... 45-43 SL with 5 min left

 

[kiddman32]

1:50 left... 51-47 SL.

 

[kiddman32]

Dowwwwnnnn the stretch... Score is 51-49 SL. Campo has the rock in forecourt with 5 seconds left...

 

[kiddman32]

Cougs couldn’t get a decent shot off. 51-49 final.

 

[Renard Monroe]

Impressive Win for SL coming off the loss to Weston Ranch. Good job D.Stamps

 

[kiddman32]

Well... After going and crying in my beer, er non alcoholic beverage... I see Mission is playing Vanden tough... They just took the lead 37-36 after trailing 21-7 early.

 

[kiddman32]

43-41 Vanden at the half... Highly entertaining game!

 

[kiddman32]

After falling back as far as 7, Mission ties it up at 62 with less than a minute left in the 3rd.

Ben Knight is a scoring machine, reminiscent of Decauray Brown from Newark Memorial a few years ago... I’ve heard he’s been into the high 30’s more than once this year, and he’s headed there again.

 

[kiddman32]

To be clear, Ben Knight is onMission.

 

[kiddman32]

4:10 left, and we have a good one...

Tied at 72 after yet another Knight basket...

 

[kiddman32]

Tied at 74 after, you guessed it, a pair of Knight FT’s. 2:45 left.

 

[kiddman32]

Vanden’s Miller knocks down a 3... 77-74. 2:13 left

 

[kiddman32]

Vanden scores two more buckets to lead 81-74

 

[kiddman32]

Mission just won’t be knocked out... Knight scores another pair to get it to 84-81, Vanden ball.

 

[kiddman32]

8 secs left, Vanden at the line...

 

[kiddman32]

85-81 final... Terrific game!

Thanks for the report Kiddman. That was a tough first round matchup, Campo v. San Leandro. Vanden v. SL today right?

 

[CityVibesII]

Ben Knight is one of the best sub '6 guards in area. Just a quiet assassin. Will be a nice pick up for a local JC team

 

[kiddman32]

Yup, Vanden v. San Leandro in one semi.

Monterey Trail and Acalanes in the nightcap.

Whatever happened to Emmet Neal? I thought he had transferred to Mission? Also where did Kamari Smith end up?

Emmett Neal is now at a prep school in San Diego.

Campo beats Mission SF 76-69

I know nobody who knows what Kamari Smith is up to. I believe if he is going to school, this would be his 6 school in 4 years. Probably looking to hook up with a JC out of state or a prep school next year

Mission lost of fair share of leadership players in last two years. Hurts them in crunch time. Novice in the paint. Being that said, very entertaining to watch a game they are involved in.
