Cambridge holds off Jaguarettes, wins 9-7

Although held scoreless in the second half, the Cambridge junior varsity girls basketball team had put enough points on the board in the first half to score a 9-7 win over Cooperative in the Cooperative gym Tuesday.
Cambridge took a 5-0 lead in the first quarter, and was ahead 9-4 at the half. The Jaguars pulled to within two points, at 9-7 in the third quarter, and that would be the final score as neither team could connect for a score in the fourth quarter.
Nicole Fermin was Cambridge's main offensive weapon, with eight points, six of them from the foul line. Vera Lino also made a free throw for the Knights.
For Cooperative, Megumi Kamiya, Jessica Maureira, and Sofia Vallet had two points each, and Andrea Chavez had one.
The win was the first for the Cambridge JV girls in recent memory.

Eagle JV battles to 16-14 win over Griffins

The Christian Learning girls junior varsity basketball team prevailed 16-14 over International in the Griffins gym Tuesday.
The two teams battled evenly throughout the game, although the final score was not quite as close as it might seem in that two of the Griffin points were tallied on foul shots by Fabiana Zelada after the final buzzer. Still the score had been knotted at 8-8 as recently as the end of the third quarter.
International had led 4-2 at the end of the first quarter, and 6-4 and the half.
Christian Learning got six points from Rebekah Kienzle, four from HaEun Lee and Emily Ordoñez, and two from Rebekah Enns.
Fir International, Zelada and Antonia Maggi had six points, and Irene Vergara had two.
