(Beaumont) – Pasadena out fired Beaumont amidst a basket trading war in the opening half before clamping down defensively during the second to score a convincing 68-40 win in the second round CIFSS 3AAA playoffs Friday night.<\/p>\n
‘Dena’s defense yielded single digit quarters (nine each) in the third and fourth frames.<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs established control in the post early on and were led by Brandon Jolley (7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks), who plastered 17 of his game high 22 points for PHS in the first half.<\/p>\n
Blake Hamilton (8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 1 block) finished with 17, distributing flair from perimeter to paint. “B-Ham” flew in a ferocious slam dunk from the free throw line in the third quarter but it was nullified due to charging.<\/p>\n
That charge was sustained by Beaumont’s Dejon Brown, who led the Cougars with 14 points and 9 rebounds. Brown presented a bit of a puzzle for PHS to deal with as he converted two “and-one\u201d plays and visited the charity stripe two other times.<\/p>\n
Pasadena\u2019s John John Haywood marked 6 of his 7 points in the first half while elsewhere tallying up 6 boards, 3 dimes, and 2 thefts. Ajon Efferson drilled key threes for PHS in the first and third towards 6 points, with 2 caroms, 4 assists, and a pair of cookies to boot. Perris Hicks (4 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals) banked in a trey at the first quarter buzzer.<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs, seeded #2 in 3AAA, advanced into the quarterfinals with this round two victory and will host #7 Bonita Tuesday night. Game time for this battle at the Dog Pound is set at 7:00 pm.<\/p>\n
Bonita started the playoffs with a thorough 80-28 blasting of Cerritos before prevailing 59-44 over Brea Olinda. The Bearcats are led by stout athletes in Garrett Horine, Ryan Ramirez, and Tony Digirolamo, with Brandon Ko at point guard, and Jeff Nelson on the perimeter.<\/p>\n
