LJ b BB: How they did it

By Ed Piper

With 4:08 left in the game, Lincoln's Rayquan Everett made a layup. That put the Hornets in the lead by eight, 38-30.

At the other end, La Jolla's Charlie Gal, stifled much of the game, drove for the basket. Everett, like his Viking counterpoint about 6'6", fouled him.

Gal missed both free throws, but La Jolla got the rebound and point guard Behzad Hashemi fired a three-pointer. It missed.

Fellow senior Jacob Ohara put the ball back up for a basket. 38-32. 3:45 on the clock.

Lincoln missed a shot, La Jolla committed a turnover.

2:26: The Hornets couldn't get off an attempt before the shot clock ran out.

Diego Solis was fouled. He made both free throws in a one-and-one. 38-34. 2:12 left.

Pressing, the Vikings jarred a ball loose but couldn't complete the steal. 

1:43: Ohara stole the ball past midcourt, then for some reason, the official called traveling. LJHS coach Paul Baranowski asked for an explanation, but none was forthcoming. The swift senior, in his path across the half-court line, swooped low near the floor. But this observer didn't see a violation.
