San Clemente JV defeats El Toro to advance to tournament semi-final

The San Clemente Tritons JV entered the arena Wednesday night to face off against the El Toro Chargers looking to extend their run through the Aliso Niguel JV Classic tournament.  The Chargers came hard early, knocking San Clemente back on their heels and taking an early lead.  But the Tritons didn't panic.  Trailing by two at the end of the first quarter the Tritons, with Berk Harris adding 5 more of his 9 first half points, out scored El Toro 16-1 to take a 29-16 lead at the half.  San Clemente continued their run in the third quarter.  Nate Gerkin basically ran the same play over and over again while Andrew Herbert mixed in a couple of daggars from beyond the arc.  The Tritons closed it out, taking down the Chargers with a 55-41 final.  The high scorer for the game was Andrew Herbert (16).  Also in double digits were Nate Gerkin (11) and Berk Harris (11).  Other scoring contributions were from Gibbons (6), Regalado (4), Cuevas (4), Tomlinson (2) and Herrord (1).
