Through the first
round of the South Coast Conference South Division
play, the Cerritos College men's basketball team is
locked in a tie for first place with Long Beach City
College at 4-1. The Falcons, who won their third
game in a row with their 71-50 win at Los Angeles
Harbor College on Friday night, are now 8-13 on the
season. They get a break from divisional play on
Wednesday when they travel to Los Angeles Trade-Tech
College for a 7:30 p.m. crossover game.
In the win over
the Seahawks (4-20, 1-4), Cerritos shot 56% from the
field and rode a team-high 19 points off the bench
from sophomore guard
Van Girard
(Gahr HS). He netted 9-of-13 of his shots
on the night and added eight rebounds, as the
Falcons opened up a 37-22 halftime lead and never
looked back.
Posting a
double-double was freshman forward
Marcellus
Jackson (Independence HS), who
made 6-of-9 shots and finished with 13 points to go
along with his 14 rebounds. As a team, the Falcons
out-rebounded the Seahawks, 48-27, with 14 of those
caroms coming on the offensive end. Sophomore guard
Gregory
Preer (St. Vincent-St. Mary (OH)
HS/Ashland (OH) University) was also a key to
the win with his 14 points and eight rebounds.
Freshman guard

(Mayfair HS) dished out eight assists,
while freshman guard
