Dec. 3 Game Results &
Tournament Scores--(Dec. 4, 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.

Note also that we will continuously update this page throughout the day, so if you don't see a score, check back later in the day. . .

Silverado 60, Barstow 52-- The Barstow boys basketball team fought an uphill and ultimately losing battle against Silverado on Friday night at the Desert Community Bank Serrano Shootout. The Aztecs drew close several times but could never get in front of the Hawks and wound up lo sing, 60-52. Barstow made one last rush, scoring seven straight points — a run capped by a Billy Shivers 3-pointer — to cut Silverado’s lead to 56-52 with one minute, 50 seconds left. But Barstow could get no closer, and the Hawks’ Anthony Oshinuga scored the game’s final four points to seal the outcome.

With the victory, Silverado (2-0) advanced out of Pool B to today’s championship game against Palmdale, which won Pool A after defeating Jurupa Valley 83-82 in overtime. Oshinuga, a senior guard, had a game-high 20 points, 17 coming in the second half. He was backed up by fellow seniors Kalaan Brown (15 points, five steals) and Jeremiah Phillips (14 points, 12 rebounds). But Oshinuga’s points hurt the Aztecs (0-3) the most. The Hawks never trailed in the game, and it seemed that whenever Barstow came close to taking the lead, Oshinuga would hit a shot to extend Silverado’s lead. When the Aztecs cut the Hawks’ lead to 34-33 early in the third quarter, Oshinuga hit a 3-pointer. When Barstow got within one again at 40-39, he swished another 3 from the right corner. His fourth and final 3-pointer — with 3:20 left in the game — gave Silverado an insurmountable 56-45 lead and drew a vigorous fist-pump on the sideline from Herbst. Shivers led Barstow (0-3) with 18 points, and Bobby Sluder added 12 points. The Aztecs committed 19 turnovers.  Barstow played again without six players who are expected to contribute but are either injured or playing on the CIF-Southern Section semifinal football team.

Sultana 61, Serrano 58--Sultana and Serrano were both searching for their first win of the season, but both squads seemed intent on letting the other have it. The Sultans (1-2) took a 59-53 lead on Bruce Mohiet’s layup with 2:53 left in the game.

Semifinal

Simi Valley 79, North Hollywood 65 -- [From the LA Times]:  The Pioneers came from behind to defeat North Hollywood in a semifinal at Simi Valley High.  Branduinn Fullove scored 33 points and had eight rebounds and four steals while Brett Michel added 21 points, making four of seven three-point shots. North Hollywood, ninth-ranked, took a 42-40 lead early in the third quarter when Gus Ruiz hit a three-point shot.  The Huskies, who hadn't led since the game's early stages, had gone on an 8-2 run to close the first half and pull within 38-37.  But the Pioneers (3-0) capitalized on a 20-8 run, highlighted by eight   points from center Dustin Villepigue.  Michel started the outburst with a three-pointer and Fullove scored on an offensive rebound.   Simi Valley held a 34-24 rebounding advantage, including 12 offensive rebounds. Fullove had eight rebounds, three offensive.  Anish Sharda gave the Pioneers a 68-54 advantage--the biggest in the game--with a steal and breakaway layup with 3:20 to play.  Ruiz finished with 19 points for the Huskies (2-1), who had a five-point third-quarter deficit nearly triple as a result of six fourth-quarter turnovers.  Kenny Hauser, the Huskies' top scorer in the tournament, added 16 points. He had nine of his points in the second quarter but converted only one of four shots in the fourth quarter.  Simi Valley played its third consecutive game without point guard Shaun Michel, who sat out for disciplinary reasons. Michel watched the game from the bench in street clothes.  Simi Valley plays Pasadena Marshall in the championship game at 7 tonight. 

[And this report comes from the Ventura County Star] : Its first challenge of the season served to jump-start the Simi Valley High boys' basketball team Friday night.  Faced with a six-point deficit against feisty North Hollywood midway through the second quarter, Simi Valley uncorked a 23-4 surge en route to a 79-65 victory in the semifinals of the Simi Valley Tipoff Classic.  Senior Branduinn Fullove scored 33 points and senior Brett Michel had 21 points as Simi Valley improves to 3-0 and moves in tonight's championship final of its own tournament. Simi Valley will take on Pasadena Marshall, a 69-47 winner over Monroe in its semifinal, beginning at 7.   Simi Valley's Dustin Villepigue, a 6-foot-9 junior center, scored all 10 of his points in the second half.  When Dominic Johnson stripped Fullove of the ball and sped in for a layup with 4:34 left in the third, North Hollywood held a 46-40 lead.   But Michel and Fullove responded with back-to-back baskets, and Villepigue scored on alley-oop dunks two of the next three trips down court to take the lead for good.   Simi Valley coach Christian Aurand said his team responded at the right time.   "We did not play very well tonight," he said. "Give North Hollywood all the credit. They played very well. But I'm proud of my kids. They came through when we needed them."

Villa Park 65, Sonora 62--Tony Bryant scored 20 points and Sean Phaler added 14 points to lead host Villa Park (1-0). The Orange County Register had a more in-depth report on the game:  "Villa Park was given a scare, but came away with a narrow 65-62 victory over Sonora in the opener for both teams Friday evening. With the score tied at 60 late in the game, Villa Park's Matt McGinnis stole a Sonora pass. He then passed to Tony Bryant, who was fouled on his lay-up attempt. Bryant converted one of two free throws to make it, 61-60. Sonora came right back to take the lead when Isaac Fromson scored and was fouled. But Fromson missed the ensuing free throw, which kept the score at 62-61. It looked as if Sonora would hold on for the victory after Villa Park turned the ball over. But on the next possession, the Raiders were called for traveling, giving the ball back to Sonora with 30 seconds remaining. Bryant made the Raiders pay for the mistake as he hit a 15-foot jumper from the free throw line which gave the Spartans the lead for good. "That steal by Matt was huge," Villa Park coach Kevin Reynolds said. "He didn't have his best offensive game tonight, but played outstanding defense." Villa Park, ranked fifth in Orange County, jumped out to a 21-10 lead in the first quarter, but Sonora came back to eventually tie the game, 31-31. "We stopped executing defensively," Reynolds said. "But give Sonora credit. They broke down our defense and we couldn't handle it." It looked as if Villa Park would finally put the game away after taking a 58-49 lead with just over four minutes remaining. But Sonora's Randy Rogers hit a three-point field goal to cut the lead to 58-52. That basket jump started a 9-0 Sonora run which tied the game, 58-58. "It seemed they would chip away whenever we got ahead," Reynolds said. "But we have to realize that since we're ranked in the top 10, a lot of teams are going to be gunning for us." Bryant led Villa Park with 20 points. Robert Abreu led Sonora with 21. "
