2011-03-05T10:07:00.000-08:00

Look below for recaps from all of Saturday's Sac-Joaquin Section championship basketball games.

DIVISION 4 GIRLS
Modesto Christian 71, Calaveras 52
The Crusaders (23-8) rode their pressure defense and a big game from freshman Charise Holloway to their third consecutive D4 title. Holloway, playing on the Power Balance Pavilion floor for the first time, didn't show the nerves as she led MC with 16 points and 22 rebounds. Her rebounds were a D4 title game record and tie her for tops overall in the Section record book.
All five of the Crusaders' starters scored in double figures; the other four were: Danielle Thompson (12) and 11 points apiece from Vanessa Cagle, Mariah Brown and Alexus Tillman.
Nikki Gleason led Calaveras with 21 points and teammate Maddy Cox added eight rebounds.
It's the third straight victory over a Mother Lode League team in the finals for the Crusaders, their last two victims were Argonaut and Linden.

DIVISION 2 GIRLS
St. Mary's 70, Del Oro 65
In what turned out to be a dynamite game, the Rams (25-2) got a hige 3-pointer from senior guard Ali Gibson with 1:35 left and held on for the victory over the Golden Eagles. Gibson finished with 25 points and seven rebounds.
The teams traded the lead throughout the game, with Del Oro holding a nine-point advantage at one point early. But the Rams kept battling back behind their full-court pressure defense.
Sophomore point guard Onome Jemirigbe spearheaded the St. Mary's defense and also scored 23 points. She added five steals.
Madeline Campbell and Crystal Sewell each led Del Oro with 23 points. Sewell also led the Golden Eagles with eight rebounds.
It was the fourth Section title in a row for the Rams, and the program's 12th overall.

DIVISION 4 BOYS
Colfax 53, Amador 44
The Falcons (22-9) suffered a major setback early in the game when leading scorer Chase Mosier went down with a leg injury, but they received contributions from several players en route to the victory. Mosier was averaging 20 points a game, but only played for 4 minutes, scoring two points. In his place, Austin Oberg scored 15 points and center Ben Buell added 10 points and five rebounds.
The Buffaloes were led by Clinton Tremelling (15 points, three assists), Max Perry (10 points) and Austin Johnson (eight points, 13 rebounds).
It was the fourth boys basketball Section title in Colfax history, all of those championships coming since 2004. In the last eight years, Colfax is 24-4 in the postseason.

DIVISION 2 BOYS
St. Mary's 61, Antelope 50
In a matchup between one of the most successful programs in Section boys basketball history and a school in the playoffs for the first time, experience ruled the day.
The Rams (21-10) pulled away for the victory thanks to an 18-10 fourth quarter. Alex Simmons scored 20 points to lead the Rams, and he also grabbed 11 rebounds. Teammate Chris Magalotti added 14 points and 14 rebounds and Justin Cox pitched in with 14 points.
Antelope stayed with St. Mary's for most of the game, pulling to within one at 43-42, but was never able to take the lead. The Titans, in the playoffs for the first time, were led by Jarvis Watkins and Isaiah Ellis (11 points apiece).
It was the eighth Section title in St. Mary's history; the Rams are 8-5 in championship games.

DIVISION 1 GIRLS
St. Francis 57, Lincoln-Stockton 49
The St. Francis girls basketball program has won more than its share of Section titles. But until this year, the Troubadours had never won a D1 crown. That all changed after they held off a talented and tenacious Trojans team.
The senior guard tandem of Jolise Limcaco and Briana Charles each scored 12 points to lead St. Francis to the victory. The Troubadours couldn't miss in the first quarter, jumping out to a 24-16 lead. But the Trojans chipped away, getting to within two points several times late in the game.
The Trojans were led by junior forward Nyre Harris' 14 points and 12 points from senior guard Devyn Weymouth. Lincoln, in the playoffs 22 times, was seeking its first Section title.
It was the eighth Section title for St. Francis, which won D3 crowns in 1991-94 and 2002 and won D2 banners in 2007 and 2008.

DIVISION 1 BOYS
Sheldon 84, Jesuit 69
The Huskies (23-7) won their second consecutive Section title behind 27 points and 14 rebounds from senior forward Darius Nelson. Sheldon is coached by Joey Rollings, who won a Section title with the Huskies' girls team in 2006 as well.
Sheldon received 18 points apiece from Ramon Eaton and D'Erryl Williams and 10 points form Dakarai Allen.
Jesuit, the DRL runner-up to Sheldon, got 17 points apiece from Akachi Okugo and Parker Uu. Broan Glodowski added 15 points.
It was the third meeting between the DRL rivals, and Sheldon won all three. Both advance to the CIF NorCal Tournament, which begins next week. NorCal brackets for all divisions will be released Sunday afternoon.

The Pride (22-9) jumped out to an early 19-7 lead and cruised from there in Bradshaw Christian's fourth consecutive Section championship in a row. Senior Jordie Smith, in her fourth Section title game, led the Pride with 17 points. She added 11 rebounds.
Her teammate Lauren Beyer, also a senior, had 14 points and a game-high 13 rebounds.
Brookside Christian, in the program's first girls basketball Section championship, featured a roster of only six players. One of those players, freshman Tiara Tucker, entered the game averaging 35.7 points in the postseason, but was held to 11. Bradshaw Christian sophomore Ashlee Jones was assigned Tucker defensively, holding her well below her scoring average.
Tucker made two free throws in the final seconds of the game, giving her 118 for her four-game Section postseason, which ranks her No. 2 on the all-time list, behind Nevada Union's Kellie Cook (149).

DIVISION 5 BOYS
Vacaville Christian 90, Bradshaw Christian 63
The Falcons (25-6) used a 29-11 third-quarter advantage to pull away from their Sierra Delta League rivals in winning the school's first-ever Section championship. Brandon Barnes scored 29 points, including seven 3-pointers, to lead Vacaville Christian. Barnes' seven 3-pointers are a Division 5 record and tie him for the overall Section championship record.
Teammate Jake Abel added 22 points and Torry Arthur had 18 points and a team-high seven rebounds.
Scott Ecklund scored 23 points to lead Bradshaw Christian; he was helped out by 15 points from Jake Adkins and 12 from Ron Henry.
The game was tight at the half, with the Falcons clinging to a 44-40 lead. But Vacaville Christian controlled the flow in the second half. The Falcons' 90 points were three away from the overall Section record.

DIVISION 3 GIRLS
Sacramento 63, Vanden 50
The Dragons (26-5) held almost every Vikings player in check, forcing 28 turnovers, in the victory over a team that beat them during the regular season. Sacramento was led by senior guard Fantasia Hilliard, who scored 26 points, had four steals and grabbed seven rebounds despite her 5-foot-3 frame.
Teammate Allie Green added 13 points and Jasmine Ware had 10 points and a team-high eight rebounds.
Vanden was led by senior forward Erimma Amarikwa, who had 28 points and 11 rebounds. Amarikwa is going to San Diego State University next year.
It was the eighth consecutive Section championship appearance for the Dragons, and their second title. They won the D3 title in 2007 as well.

Division 3 boys
Sacramento 53, Center 48
The Dragons (27-5) parlayed an 11-0 run to end the third quarter into a close victory over the Cougars. 6-foot-11 center Robert Garrett had 15 points and nine rebounds to lead Sacramento, which won its third Section title in a row.

First, we'd be remiss if we didn't congratulate the four people from Sac-Joaquin Section schools who were part of the Green Bay Packers' Super Bowl victory on Sunday. Linebacker Desmond Bishop (he's the guy who picked up the fumble) is from Fairfield High. Defensive back Jarrett Bush (he had an interception in the game) is from Will C. Wood in Vacaville. Tight end Spencer Havner (he's on the DL and didn't play) is from Nevada Union. And offensive line coach James Campen is from Ponderosa, where he also coached. Congratulations to all of these former Sac-Joaquin Section athletes!

Vacaville wrestling nears win #1,000

2011-01-20T11:58:00.000-08:00

Here's a press release sent to be by Vacaville wrestling coach Adam Wight. Congrats to the Bulldogs and their continuity over the years!

Vacaville wrestling nears win #1,000
With half the season behind us, the Vacaville High School (CA) Wrestling team begins to focus on the remaining regular season dual matches, and preparing for the post season run. However, perhaps of even more impressive note, the Vacaville Wrestling program is preparing to accomplish an amazing milestone – their 1,000th dual meet victory as a program, in its 49 years of existence.

No other Bulldog head coach owns more wins in any sport than Sac Joaquin Section Hall of Famer Larry Nelson, who helped found the program with athletic director Tom Zunino, in 1961. Nelson captained the program for 32 seasons and retired in 1993 with 553 dual meet wins. His son Dave took over the program, and in his seven year tenure amassed an impressive 161 wins, with just 21 losses. Following Dave’s untimely passing in 2000 from Lou Gehrig’s disease, Rich Penaluna continued the strong tradition, winning 127 duals in 5 years, with just 12 losses. Penaluna owns the best winning percentage of any head coach in the program’s history, winning 88.8% of all contests entered – his 2002 team finished their dual season 24-0, which included winning the prestigious Clovis West Shootout.

If you are keeping track, between three head coaches, the program amassed 841 wins, prior to current head coaches Adam Wight and Clint Birch taking over for the 2005-2006 season. Since then, Wight and Birch have solidified Vacaville as one of the top dual programs in the state and country, with a 157-38 record (21-3 this season). Think the schedule has gotten easier? Wight and Birch have continued where Penaluna left off, attending the Clovis West Shootout on a yearly basis; they also wrestled a home and away series with reigning state champions Bakersfield High School in 2008-2009, and have competed at more of a national stage than their predecessors with six consecutive trips to The Clash, National Duals, in Rochester, Minnesota, where this year the team finished in 10th place, with a 4-2 record.

The total as it stands right now is:

L. Nelson 553
D. Nelson + 161
Penaluna + 127
Wight/Birch + 157
998

The Bulldogs will most certainly get # 999 vs. Fairfield High on Wednesday January 19th, at home. The Falcons have forfeited 12 of 14 weights to two league opponents thus far this season, and will most likely do the same versus the Bulldogs. Prior to the high school match, Willis Jepson will host a league dual of their own, facing CA Jacobs of Dixon at 5:30 PM. The wrestling program at Willis Jepson has been coached over the years by Dave Nelson, Clint Birch most currently Chris Marino and Armando Orzco, and is key factor to the success of the high school program.

The Bulldogs will then have an opportunity to capture the 1,000 win mark when the De La Salle Spartans visit Vacaville on Saturday January 22, 2011 – start time is set for 6 PM. The Spartans carry in a # 7 state rank to Vacaville’s # 12, and are the current defending North Coast Section Champions. The Bulldogs, the defending Sac Joaquin Section Champions, narrowly defeated De La Salle last season, with the dual meet ending in a tie, and Vacaville winning on criteria. The two teams have faced each other in a smaller capacity this season, when senior Hudson Buck pinned Lucas Sheridan of De La Salle in 33 seconds – Sheridan is the current USA Wrestling Greco Roman national champion, and has been ranked as high as #4 nationally at 189 lbs. this season. The dual will be the last home dual meet for the 2011 senior class, who will be honored that night – a Buck/ Sheridan rematch may be the highlight of the night’s wrestling, which is sure to be a barn burner. Should the ‘Dogs prove unsuccessful then, they will likely accomplish the feat at one of two remaining league duals this season; at Napa on January 26 and at Will C. Wood on Feb. 2.

The team focus in an individual sport has always been a major contributor to the success of the wrestling team at Vacaville. The credit for this accomplishment cannot be narrowed to a single individual – but rather it is a testament to the work ethic of the Vacaville coaches, assistant coaches, wrestlers and parents of the past 49 years. The Bulldogs are showing no signs of slowing down yet, having won the 11 of the past 13 Sac Joaquin section dual championships, and 7 of the last 9 Sac Joaquin Section Masters Championships. The team is currently ranked #12 in the state by thecaliforniawrestler.com, the official newsletter of California wrestling – however ironically, the newsletter does not take “dual strength” into account. Surely if they did, the ‘Dogs would be closer to the head of the pack.
