BOYS BASKETBALL

Central Coast Classic Tournament

Righetti 74, Lompoc 55 
at Bryan Ayer Court, Paisola Pavillion, Lompoc HS
[L: 13,8,16,18-55  R: 17,23,18,16-74]

The Warriors scored the last 14 points of the 2nd period and the first 7 points of the 3rd, using their superior height and depth to pull away from the out-manned Braves. Four members of the 12 player Lompoc squad are still with the football team, including point guard Kameron Davis and much of the front line.

The Braves late team videographer, James Eberling, was honored by the team with a brief ceremony before the game. Eberling, who passed away a week ago from heart failure at 36 years old, had performed video duties for Lompoc the last two years. His funeral was held earlier in the afternoon.

Both teams were looking for their initial win in the nascent season, each having dropped their openers last Tuesday. The Braves fell to AG 63-41, while Righetti narrowly lost 62-59 at Santa Barbara. Both will continue CCC play on next week - Lompoc at Pioneer Valley on Tuesday, Righetti hosts Dos Pueblos on Wednesday. 

Braves [0-2]: Ben Odom 24, Ryan Morgan 15, Jeffrey Ray 6, Andrew Villa 6

Warriors [1-1]: Jordan Allen 23 (21 1H), Dakota Saunders 14 points, Justin Tonascia 6.
