3 pm: Camarillo 70, La Canada 56

By Dave Rogahn

Jacob Alonzo scored 28 points and Rhett King had a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds and Camarillo held off a late rally by La Canada at the 2nd Annual Joseph Frazier Benefit Showcase September 30th at Calabasas HS.

Camarillo jumped to a 17-7 lead in the first few minutes, and pushed the lead to 22-10 midway through the first half. But that lead appeared in jeopardy moments later when Alonzo knocked knees with a La Canada player and had to leave the game with 5:41 left in the first half.

But Alonzo returned about three minutes later, and the lead quickly grew. He converted a 3-point play to make it 31-16, and then fed Alex Martin for a basket to make it 33-16. Then he knocked down a 3-pointer to push the lead to 20 at 36-16. He also hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to end the first half, making it 40-22.

La Canada rallied in the second half behind the hot shooting of Dan Jun, who made four straight shots at one point. A driving lay-up by Koko Kurdoghlian cut the deficit to single digits at 55-46. And 3-pointer by Kyle Thomas with four and a half minutes left made it a 5-point game at 58-53.

But that would be as close as La Canada would get. Alonzo hit a short jumper to make it 64-56 with about two minutes to play. Ardavan Seif made it 66-56 with two free throws and then passed to Martin for a score to make it 68-56. Then he made two more free throws to make it 70-56 and close out the scoring.

Alonzo finished with 28 points, including 4 three-pointers, plus 4 assists and 2 steals. King had the 12 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. Martin had 10 points.

For La Canada, Jun had 15 points, all in the second half, including 3 three-pointers. Jack Anderson had 14 points and 7 rebounds. Kurdoghlian had 9 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.
