Eagle boys overpower Griffins 47-15
A fast-moving, smooth-running Christian Learning junior varsity boys basketball team dominated International, winning 47-15 in the International gym Tuesday.
The junior Eagles jumped out to an 18-3 lead in the first quarter, and widened that to 31-3 at the half.
Christian Learning had a balanced attack with three players in double figures -- Haziel Martinez had 14 points, Josiah Canaviri had 13, and Cesar Flores had 10. In addition, Esteban Sosa had six, and Richard Enns four.
The only apparent weakness of the Eagles was lack of bench strength. They had only six players in uniform for the game.
Though clearly up against a better team, the Griffins never lost discipline, and continued to press their attack throughout the game, actually playingbthe Eagles evenly in the fourth quarter, in which each team had eight points.
And there were flashes of talent, as when Danny Hanley, by far the smallest player on the court, tossed in a three-pointer, or when Juan Pable Velasco twirled in an improbable hook shot.
Hanley was International's leading scorer with six points. J. Coloma had four, Jakob Hlodversson and Velasco had two, and Javier Garcia one.
Knight JV outpaces Jaguars, 44-23
The Cambridge boys junior varsity basketball team handily defeated Cooperative 44-23 in a game played in the Cooperative gym Tuesday afternoon.
The Knights were ahead 10-5 at the end of the first quarter, and 24-12 at the half.
Jose Luis Rivera of Cambridge was the leading scorer in the game with 25 points, including three three-pointers. Horacio Morales was next for the Knights with nine points, Fernando Guardia had five, Juan Paniagua three (on a three-pointer), and Alex Legrain two.
Josue Abuawad tallied 19 points for Cooperative, including all 11 of the Jaguars points in the second half. Rodrigo Adrazola had two points for the Jaguars. George Scanlon and Alejandro Rosas had a point each.
