Spartans sneak by the Wildcats<\/p><\/div>\n

(Monrovia)- Koko Kurdoghlian scored all seven points in\u00a0overtime including two free throws with five seconds left to secure\u00a0a 64-61 La Canada win over Monrovia in the Rio Hondo League opener Wednesday night. Antoine Gholar’s\u00a0three point attempt at the buzzer hit the rim but fell to the floor and\u00a0the Spartans survived.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats were up by eight after one and still led by seven, 34-27 at the half\u00a0but the Spartans battled back in the final two quarters to pull even.\u00a0Monrovia\u00a0had a big first quarter outscoring La Canada 18-10 as Marcel Harris scored seven points and Gholar added seven.<\/p>\n

La Canada went on a 10-2 run to open the second to tie it at 20. Jacob Brown and\u00a0Kurdoghlian each had a couple of buckets to lead the charge. But Monrovia responded with a 10-3 run of its own to go into the break up by seven. George Frazier, DeShawn Potts and Tyln Sago each had\u00a0four points in the quarter.<\/p>\n

Mario Del Cueto hit\u00a0a pair of three balls to get La Canada back in it in the third.\u00a0The Spartans racked up 19 in the quarter as Dan Jun also nailed one from behind the arc and Ryan Lee tossed in four points.<\/p>\n

The Spartans had a chance to win it in regulation when Lee was fouled by\u00a0Luis Javier with :09 left but Lee’s\u00a0free throw clanked off the rim\u00a0giving the Cats new life.\u00a0Monrovia\u00a0couldn’t find the basket however in overtime converting only two field goals.<\/p>\n

Kurdoghlain was four for four from the line\u00a0and hit a three in the extra session\u00a0to lead the Spartans to the victory. The freshman had a game high 20 points.\u00a0Lee finished with 13.\u00a0For Monrovia Gholar took scoring honors with 18,\u00a0but nobody else was in double figures. Justus Tucker added eight.<\/p>\n

Monrovia fell to 2-16, 0-1 in the Rio Hondo while La Canada improved to 9-7 and 1-0.<\/p>\n
