(La Canada, Ca) \u2013 La Canada\u2019s deadly three-point shooting in the first half enabled them to cruise to a 60-47 victory over Rio Hondo League rival Monrovia.<\/p>\n
The Spartans used timely three-pointers by Rocky Moore and Mason Holle in the second quarter to go on a 15-6 run enroute to a nine-point lead at half.<\/p>\n
After going toe-to-toe in the first quarter the Wildcats went cold from the field and watched La Canada score at will in the second quarter.<\/p>\n
Moore\u2019s back-to-back three-pointers with two minutes to play gave the Spartans a lead that was hard to overtake.<\/p>\n
After last season\u2019s thrilling finishes, La Canada left nothing in doubt in the second half as they extended the lead to as many as 22 points.<\/p>\n
The Spartans had a balanced scoring attack with Mike McGlashan scoring 14, Moore\u00a013 and Holle 12 in the victory.<\/p>\n
Wildcats guard Jonathon Henderson tried to keep his team in the game by scoring nine of his game high 19 points in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
Cold shooting in the final quarter didn\u2019t help Monrovia get back on track as they went nearly seven minutes without a field goal.<\/p>\n
The Wildcats did finish with a flurry as they closed the fourth quarter on a 10-1 run.<\/p>\n
The loss drops Monrovia to 1-2 in league, while La Canada is still undefeated at 3-0.<\/p>\n
