Championship: La Canada 58, Mark Keppel 48<\/strong><\/p>\n

La Canada\u2019s prowess on the boards, along with another swift night offensively from the tandem of Matt Faber and Mike McGlashan, proved to be a decisive difference for the Spartans who wrapped up their first Arroyo Invitational title since 2006 by beating Mark Keppel 58-48.<\/p>\n

McGlashan scored at will throughout the tourney, having poured in 22, 17, and 27 (Friday) during prior games before chipping in 19 tonight to go along with six rebounds and six assists to earn all-tournament MVP honors. Faber hit two threes and punched in ten points, ten rebounds.<\/p>\n

Keppel\u2019s Jordan Young made sure La Canada didn\u2019t easily take off into the sunset and scored a game high 26 points, with most of that coming via six from beyond the arc. Young scored across the lane after a Max Katz pass at the end of a 10-0 run in the fourth with 2:45 left to rally Keppel to within four, but the Aztecs got no closer afterwards and failed to score until the waning seconds. LC had already funneled off a key 6-0 run in the meantime to put it on ice.<\/p>\n

3rd: Arcadia 73, California 63<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

C.J Perez scorched the net for five buckets (12 pts) in the third and dropped four second half bombs. He also added four assists, a block, and finished with 24 points to power Arcadia past California 73-63 to take the Arroyo Invitational bronze. The Apaches built a 19 point advantage with four threes early in the fourth before being outscored 14-2 the next four minutes by the Condors, who rallied to within a touchdown\u2019s length with 95 seconds to play.<\/p>\n

Kiran Koneru added another 20 to complete the powerful Apache tandem as the senior point guard dialed long distance on four treys from Santa Anita Avenue. Robby Haines was Arcadia\u2019s go-to guy on the boards with a dozen rebounds, also aiding the offense as well by scoring eight points. Arcadia went a perfect 10 for 10 at the charity stripe and six for six in the closing minute.<\/p>\n

Cal went to Matt Arceo often over the last three frames and the winger didn\u2019t disappoint, leading the Condors with 18 points and seven caroms. Point guard Matt Lambrecht tacked another 11 points and three steals. Their potent boarding threat Maximo Gonzalez was kept in check by the Apaches who did an excellent job boxing him out, limiting him to just five.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a05th: Bishop Amat 49, Walnut 43<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bishop Amat wrestled control away from Walnut after burying them beneath a 9-0 run to open the fourth and a 14-2 run before galloping across the wire 49-43. Tyler Hill led the Lancers with 21 points after sitting out the first. Daniel Rodriguez added 14, and Joseph Cook provided a dozen rebounds plus eight points.<\/p>\n

The Mustangs were on fire near the end of quarter one as Zach Galman (19 pts) and Bryan Gholar splashed treys after each other for a 15-7 lead. Then, Amat steadily chipped away closing the half on an 11-5 drive catching Walnut in the third quarter and scooting away in the fourth.<\/p>\n

Aubrey Coleman had 7 rebounds and so did Gholar, who elsewhere added 11 points, three assists, and a steal while Chibuzo Okoro blocked two shots. The Mustangs\u2019 big highlight of the game undoubtedly came two minutes into the second period where Gholar lasered a well timed pass to a high flying Brandon Croom along the baseline for a two handed slam that rocked the Vern Nelson Fieldhouse.<\/p>\n
