Town Hall Youth Basketball
Town Hall Sports Coordinator Jeremy Teeguarden reported on youth basketball for both the College League (kindergarten through third-grade) and the Pro League (third- through sixth-grade) for the week of Dec. 17.
College League (Kindergarten through third-grade)
The College League (grades K-3) had two games this week both on Tuesday, Dec. 18.
The first game was between the Pacific Slope Bulldogs and the Wooley’s Wildcats. The Bulldogs’ Michael Stroud scored the game’s first basket and played well throughout. The Wildcats took control of the game in the second half as Mescino Reynosa scored his first two baskets of the year to help lead the Wildcats to a 15-6 victory.
The second game was between the Rotary Bears and the Gastrognome Broncos. The game was close throughout the first half. Booke Taylor scored a big basket and had three points for the game. The Broncos’ Rene Hernandez played great scoring a couple of baskets. The Broncos made a late comeback but the Bears held on to win the game 17-14.
Pro League (Third- through sixth-grade)
There were two Pro League games on Thursday, Dec. 20.
The first game pitted the Idyllwild Arts Clippers against the Suburban Propane Heat. The Clippers started hot and scored early and often to take a big lead in the first half. Bryan Mabery helped lead a Heat comeback early in the second half with a couple of big steals; but the Clippers would not relinquish their lead. They continued to play solid defense and got a big basket from Alia Teeguarden in the fourth quarter. The Clippers won 21-11.
The second game was between the Fairway Market Lakers and the Town Crier Cavs, who jumped out to a quick lead. The Cavs’ Peyton Priefer stole the ball on the Lakers first possession and put in a layup at the other end and the Cavs never looked back as they built a big lead. The Lakers, playing short-handed, hustled all night and never gave up. Jeremiah Whitney played tough and scored ten points to lead the Lakers. But the Cavs lead was substantial and they won 28-10.
