#6 San Bernardino Valley won a turnover-filled game over Citrus, 80-68. PF Blake Walker led the Wolverines with 19 pts and 11 rebs. PF Will Funn had 7 asts and 9 of SBVC's 24 steals. F Bron Groomes chipped in 15 pts off the bench and drew 5th fouls on two of Citrus' starters. Citrus stayed close and trailed by just 9 at 50-41 before an 18-3 run opened things up. Citrus made a late rally to make the score a little closer. The rally was led by a remarkable performance by G Walter Bratton, who had 10 pts on 4 of 4 (including a three) plus 3 rebs and 2 asts in less than 10 mins playing time. Even more remarkable is that Bratton does not have a right hand! He's the inspirational successor to Porterville's Doug Dormu.
