The Eagles scored the first nine points in the game, and led 11-4 at the end of the first quarter. They extended that lead to 17-6 at the half thanks to a balanced attack that featured baskets by four different players.
The Jaguars were able to close the gap in the second half, during which they seemed to take control of the rebounds and started to find the range from outside while the Eagle offense became more tentative.
The closest the Jaguars were able to get, however, was four points at 26-22 in the fourth quarter. At that point the Eagles put on a closing spurt and put the game out of reach.
For the winning Eagles Gabriel Martinez and Cesar Flores both had eight points. Josiah Canaviri and Damon Janzen had four each. Luis Doi had three, and Jose Mercado and Richard Enns both had two.
For Cooperative, Jose Mozza led all scorers with 13 points, all but one of his points coming in the second half. Luis Peredo had five, including a three-pointer. Luis Simon, Alejandro Rosas, and Giorgio Rodrigano had two points each.

Junior Knights conquer Griffins, 47-11

The Cambridge boys junior varsity basketball team notched its fourth victory of the season without a loss with a 47-11 win over International in the International gym Tuesday.

The Knights led 13-2 at the end of the first quarter, and 24-2 at the half.

Once again the big gun for Cambridge was Jose Ribera, who tallied 27 points, more or less his season average, and made all of the points in the first quarter.
What was more remarkable in this game, however, was the amount of help he got from his teammates, who together tallied 20 points, enough to win the game.
Nicolas Dagnoni tallied eight for the Knights, Alonso Tercero had six, Andres Hurtado three (on a three-pointer), Gustavo Roca 2, and Roberto Palenque one.
For International, Hans Hartman, Jose Eduardo Coloma, Diego Aramayo, Claudio Santos, and Julio Ribeiro each had two points. Daniel Hanley had one free throw.
