(Temple City) \u2014 Brandon Torimaru and Nathan Kuoch combined for 36-points, including 8-14 shooting from behind the arc in the Rams 55-47 win over South Pasadena Tuesday night at Temple City High School.<\/p>\n

Right at tip-off, the Tigers looked to get into the win column after dropping their Rio Hondo opener to San Marino. South Pas jumped to a quick 8-0 to start. After a quick timeout by the Rams three minutes into the game, TC was able to gain control and respond with a run of its own to end the first quarter tied at 13 apiece.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to the second half, TC held a 30-24 advantage to start the third quarter, however that quickly changed when the Tigers went on a 15-3 run to pull ahead. Louis Jamerson led the way for the Tigers on defense who forced the Rams to six third-quarter turnovers.<\/p>\n

Shooting for Temple City didn\u2019t help the cause either. The Tigers held them to only one bucket throughout the third quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey -South Pasadena- played hard, give credit to them, they trapped and we kinda freaked out a little bit. My goal was to try to calm my team down and I think when we calmed down a little bit, we made the easier pass and got easier looks,\u201d said TC head coach Eric Chin.<\/p>\n

The fourth quarter, however, was a different story. The Rams were able to break through the Tigers\u2019 full-court trap and find open looks for Torimaru, Kuoch and Gilbert Cai who found Torimaru in the corner for a wide open three to take the lead late in the final frame.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just wanted to play hard, and get the win,\u201d said Torimaru \u201cMy teammates trusted me, they gave me the ball and I tried to knock down my shots. We wanted the dub and hopefully, we\u2019ll go 10-0 in the league.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the win, Temple City moves to 2-0 in league and 12-7 overall. They look to extend their four-game winning streak against San Marino this Friday at San Marino High School.<\/p>\n

The Tigers fall to 0-2 in league play and 2-14 overall and look to bounce back when they travel to La Ca\u0144ada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
