McClatchy v. Acalanes

[TheHillZ]

Big SJS v. NCS showdown today in Lafayette. McClatchy (#11 in California per Max Preps) faces Acalanes (#8 in the state).

Post-season seedings and maybe placements riding on this one.

 

[TheHillZ]

Blazing start to the game. Lots of adrenalin. Two quick fouls on Acalanes center, Dulci Vail, trying to contain Nina Cain, but she's still in and has a couple of buckets. 8-7 McClatchy.

 

[TheHillZ]

This is a high speed war. Both teams are flying up the court, even after made baskets. Great post battle between Cain/Vail.

End Q1 McLatchy 15 Acalanes 12

 

[TheHillZ]

Halftime McClatchy 30 Acalanes 27

Timely three pointers by Hallstrom and Lacalane for the Dons to keep things close. Daisy Throckmorton has two threes for McClatchy.

For those of you who haven't seen her, Nina Cain is worth the price of admission.

 

[TheHillZ]

Seven straight points by KK Lacalane to give the Dons the lead to start Q3. 42-41 Acalanes.

 

[TheHillZ]

52-50 Dons after three.

Playing in a mask, Ariana Halstrom took it hard to the bucket twice. Dulci Vail had some excellent swoops. And Lacalane carried the quarter. Big three by McClatchy's Breyana Kimmons and a couple of midranges from Throckmorton.

 

[TheHillZ]

Huge back to back threes by Lacalane and the Masked Singer have Acalanes up by six with three minutes to play

 

[TheHillZ]

Dagger three by Lacalane and the Dons run out the clock. Final 74-67.

Excellent game between two top teams
