HCS was not able to contain Joshua Springs Thomas Higgins who got 17 points.Turnover to assist ratio was typically bad with a 20-13 ratio. The Patriots shot 63% from the charity line this evening. The biggest disappointment of the evening was the performance by the second team minus Ellis. As the season progresses, they will get more and more playing time. Tonight they just did not produce. To go far in playoffs, they must improve. Aside from Lamarca and Ellis, none of the second team even made their averages.
But it was a win and now HCS is 3-0 in Agape play and now must prepare for their arch rival, Apple Valley Christian on Friday.
The Lightning has two big scorers in Thomas Higgins with a 13 PPG and Mike Ray with a 12 PPG. They are a strong rebounding team (39 RPG) with four players averaging 7-8 rebounds a game. They like to dominate the defensive boards. They can be foul prone as each starter gets about three fouls per game. (Hint to HCS free throw shooters!) Joshua Springs is scoring about 50 points per game right now.
Hesperia Christian won the first match last year against Joshua Springs 75-64 which was in the Thunder dome. The last time the Patriots lost to the Lightning was in January 2002 in an exciting 64-62 OT match in Yucca Valley.
HCS will have a good test of their ability to rebound against a strong rebounding team. Mike Petersen will not be able to do it alone and will need help from Jonny Barton, Mike Maerzluft and Jordan Martinson. This especially true on our offensive boards. Joshua Springs likes to see opponents only get one shot each time down. HCS will have to make free throws this game in order to win. And HCS will need to play defense as they did in the fourth quarter against Bethel Christian. HCS is now averaging about 55 points per game. The Patriots should be about a four point favorite in tonight's game.
