CdM unable to turn the corner

University High’s Trojans stayed in the hunt for a portion of the

Pacific Coast League championship with a 66-5 victory at Corona del

Mar Friday night, as the host Sea Kings could not turn the corner in

their bid to overtake the Trojans in the second half.

University, a game off the pace of league-leader Northwood,

grabbed a 37-26 lead at halftime and was never seriously threatened.

“We cut it to seven and had possession,” said CdM Coach Ryan

Curry. “But a wing to point pass was intercepted and they went down

and layed it up.

“And, we cut it to six, but they came back with two free throws to

make it eight points, again.

“We just seemed to be one basket and one good defensive stop away

from really making it interesting.”

Pancho Seaborn scored nine of his 17 points in the fourth quarter

and Kevin Mancillas scored 11 points.

University was paced by A.J. Moskus, who scored 25 points, and

Charles Valentine with 17 counters.

University improves to 18-5, 7-1 in league. CdM falls to 11-13,

4-4.
