Tritons JV wins Aliso tournament

San Clemente's JV squad met up with the Tesoro Titans Saturday night for the final of the Aliso Niguel JV Classic.  The game was everything you would expect from a final and didn't disappoint.  McClay Gibbons stepped into the rotation and lit the fuse with a good-look three point shot.  The Tritons and Titons battled for supremacy throughout the first quarter with San Clemente shooting to a first quarter 13-7 lead.  San Clemente continued to defend and shoot well, extending their lead by the half to a 27-19 lead.  When a team drops 18 points against you in a quarter that is usually a predictor of bad things to come, especially when they do it to you two quarters in a row.  Tesoro pounded out 18 points against San Clemente in both the third and fourth quarter with only one three point shot to make it a 36 point second half for them.  Despite donating 11 points to Tesoro from the charity stripe in the second half, San Clemente still managed to pull away, channeling their namesake with a wave of threes including three in the second half from McClay Gibbons.  San Clemente took the Tritons-Titons battle with a 67-55 final.  Andrew Herbert lead all scorers with 21 followed by Ethan Sherrell (16) and McClay Gibbons (14).  Additional scoring was provided by Monshietehadi (5), Gerkin (5), Herrod (3), Tomlinson (2) and Harris (1).
