Games & Tournament Results From Tuesday--(Dec. 12, 1998)

Yes, there were a lot of games going on around SoCal on Tuesday, and most of the tournament action that wasn't already underway on Monday got started on Tuesday.

In various non-league games, here's what happened Tuesday:

Buckley 64, AGBU 33-- Buckley (Liberty League, 1-0) won it's season home opener by pounding AGBU, (Valley League, 0-1) last night at Buckley.   Jeremy Howard (6'-5" Sr. F/C) scored 11 points on 5 for 6 shooting, and Sasha Rahban (5'-11" Sr. SG) scored 12 on 5 for 5 shooting from the field. David Gale (5'-10" Fr. PG) had 5 assists. Colin Ward-Henninger (6'-3" So. SG/SF) scored 11 points; others scoring were Mike Lalazerian with 3, Josh Akhtarzad with 6 (all shot on consecutive technicals fouls committed by AGBU), Pastor 7, Clancy 5, Scannell 1, Weaver 1, Pakravan 4 and Gale 3.  Buckley's defensive play, including great guard play from Alex Clancy (5'-10" So.

Valley Torah 60, Avalon 53: Senior center Ken Harrell scored 18 points to lead the Lancers (0-1) in a season-opening loss at Avalon. Mitch
