December 2 Game Results &
Tournament Scores--(Dec. 3, 1999)

We've tried to get as many of the scores and details of games taking place all over the SoCal area as possible from yesterday, and we think we've gotten most of them.  If you know of a score or a result we missed, send us an e-mail, or post it up on the message board. For the tournaments, they're organized alphabetically by the name of the tournament;  for non-league games, the best we can do is organize them alphabetically using the first letter of the winning team.

"It's a significant milestone," Palmer said. "All the teams that I have coached have contributed to that mark and all the teams and players were outstanding. "I think the 500th win is a tribute to the past teams that I've coached as well as to this one right now. Hopefully we can make this a memorable year for everybody. Now in his 21st year of coaching, Palmer has amassed a 500-126 record in that time while winning 16 Moore League championships, six CIF championships and one national title in 1994. He left Poly in 1985 to coach at Long Beach State, but he returned three years later to coach the Jackrabbits again in 1988.

Poly rebounded, though, with a strong second half, led by Stokes and Travis Wilder, who also scored 12 points in the victory.

J.W. North Tournament

Fontana 71, Perris 31--In a pool play game, the Steelers held Perris (0-3) to only four points in the first quarter to take the lead for good and improve to 3-0. Jordan Walker had 23 points and 12 rebounds for Fontana, Trayvon Williams added 12 points and 11 rebounds and Michael Stephenson had eight assists and five steals. PERRIS (31) Spry 3, Johnson 5, Gilliam 6, Summer 8, Jordan 3, Miller 6 FONTANA (71) Walker 23, McJimson 6, Williams 12, Nelson 3, Stephenson 3, Mancha 6, Okoebor 6, Strickland 2, Johnson 6, Perry 1, Washington 3 ; Perris 4 12 4 11 -- 31; Fontana 15 18 17 21 -- 71 Total fouls: P 22, F 14. Fouled out: none. Technical fouls: none.   The San Bernardino County Sun also carried a report on this game and an outlook on the Fontana team, written by Danny Summers, a sportswriter for the paper.  Here's what the SB County Sun had to say:   "Granted, the quality of Fontana's first three basketball opponents isn't that of traditional powers Mater Dei, Glendora and Artesia, but don't tell the Steelers that. The young Steelers are having fun, sharing the ball and playing the type of unselfish basketball fourth-year coach John McNally hoped it would. Thursday's 71-31 victory over Perris in front of about 250 fans at the Riverside North Tournament improved Fontana's record to 3-0 just four days into the season. The Steelers play host North in the semifinals at 7:30p.m. today. "I like what I see," McNally said. "We're playing really hard. They share the ball. They're unselfish. They play together. When you play together, it's contagious." Fontana has won its games by an average of 27.3 points. McNally cleared his bench against Perris (0-3), and the starting five of senior point guard Michael Stephenson, senior center Jordan Walker, sophomore forward Cory McJimson, freshman forward Trayvon Williams and freshman guard Trevante Nelson rarely were on the court at the same time much in the second half. McNally said if there was one negative to his team's fast start it would be with youth. "A lack of experience," he said. "Everybody may not know what to do at all times. But it's so early, we can be better in every way." Fontana trailed just once, 31 seconds into the game when Perris junior forward Taurean Miller scored a layup. Eight seconds later, Nelson drained two free throws to tie the game. Walker (game-high 23 points, nine rebounds) gave the Steelers a three-point lead at the 6:50 mark with a three-point play, and the rout was on. Fontana bolted to a 16-4 first-quarter lead as Williams controlled the boards by grabbing seven of his game-high 11 rebounds. He scored four points in the quarter, 12 in the game. "I'm enjoying myself," Williams said. "It's a wonderful feeling when you win. I knew we'd be a good team. I knew we would come out and do well. All this will get us ready for the (Citrus Belt League)." Perris hung tough in the second quarter, trailing 23-13 with 3:51 remaining after a three-pointer by junior guard Chris Johnson. But Walker answered with a three of his own 19 seconds later. "It's a lot of fun being around these young guys," Walker said. "We're playing well. I don't think it's so much us playing easy people as it is we're playing well." Fontana used a suffocating, full-court press and trap to dominate the Panthers in a fast-paced third quarter. Perris turned the ball over 12 times in the quarter, 26 overall, as Fontana took a commanding 50-20 lead. The only Perris points of the quarter were scored by 6-foot-7 junior center Jason Zimmer (eight points, eight rebounds). Fontana continued to increase its lead in the final quarter as McNally cleared his bench. He had only one starter in the game at any given time. Seldom-used senior forward Nick Johnson scored six points in the final two minutes."

JW North 59, Tucson (Ariz.) 57--Riverside JW North's Billy Jones hit three consecutive three pointers in the third quarter, which helped the Huskies overcome a nine-point halftime deficit and win a pool play game of their own tournament.

South Tahoe senior forward Travis McCollum led four Vikings starters in double figures, scoring 13 and adding eight rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block. The pressure started off the bat. Saints guards Tri Le and Paus Driscoll had trouble handling the press, committing nine turnovers in the first quarter.

With the offense running much smoother, South Tahoe started the game on a 10-2 run.  Matt Dolen led Santa Theresa with 13 points, but scored all 11 for the Saints in the first quarter. Dennis Fong added 10, but also did much of his damage in the first half, scoring eight in the second quarter.  Orlich listed the first step as taking care of the ball, then making the extra pass. When the offense was working against Santa Theresa, South Tahoe was able to move the ball inside to its big men, McCollum, Bob Larmore and Chris Ortiz, and all were able to score in the paint. While Orlich said his squad still is a long way from where it wants to be in terms of execution, he hopes South Tahoe will continue to make progress. The next chance to show just how much progress the Vikings have made comes at 8 p.m. Friday against Soquel, from near Santa Cruz, Calif. Soquel advanced into the semifinals with a 70-51 win over Atwater, Calif.
