The Cambridge boys junior varsity basketball continued its unbeaten season with a decisive 42-15 win over Christian Learning in their home gym Tuesday.
The Eagle JV was the only team that had seriously challenged the Knights in the first half, and the win indicates that the Knights should have clear sailing through the rest of the season against teams they have beaten even more easily.
The two teams were tied at 7-7 at the end of the first quarter, but Cambridge broke the game open in the second quarter with 14 unanswered points. The Knights continued to outscore the Eagles throughout the second half, leading 30-13 at the end of the third quarter.
The high scorer for Cambridge was Gabriel Alonso with 17 points. Jose Luis Rivera, who normally is the big gun for the Cambridge JV, had 16, including a three-pointer. Andres Hurtado, back in action after a severe wrist injury, had four points, Alex Legrain and Juan Carlos Paniagua had two. One Cambridge point could not be attributed.
For Christian Learning, Josiah Canaviri had ten points, Cesar Flores had four, and Haziel Martinez 1.

The Junior Jaguars jumped out ahead 6-0 in the first quarter, and widened that lead to 12-3 at the half. That advantage became 16-5 at the end of the third quarter. International had its best quarter in the fourth, scoring five points to Cooperative's six, but it was too little, too late.
Josue Abuawad was the Jaguars leading scorer with eight points.
