Against Rancho Bernardo on Friday Night, Torrey Pines struggled to make baskets for the first quarter and a half. The Falcons defense, however, stifled the Broncos the entire game en route to a 59-41 victory.
“We’ve always been a good defensive team,” said Torrey Pines head coach John Olive. “We take pride in it.”
The Falcons held the Broncos to a season-low in points. Rancho Bernardo was held well below its average of 58.5 points per game.
Both teams started slowly, but Torrey Pines could not get on the board as Rancho Bernardo had an 8-0 lead midway through the first quarter. The Falcons responded by holding the Broncos scoreless for the rest of the quarter and trailed 8-7 after the first eight minutes.
“We haven’t played in a while, so we were a little rusty, a little anxious,” Olive said. “We settled down though and the second, third and fourth quarters were very good.”
The second quarter featured more missed shots, turnovers and sloppy play. Torrey Pines led by one at the break, 17-16.
The Falcons were ahead seven midway through the third quarter when sophomore guard Nick Kerr hit threes on consecutive possessions to push the lead to double digits. Kerr (12 points), sophomore point guard Max Heller (six points) and freshman guard Joe Rahon (12 points) each played big roles in the Torrey Pines win.
“We have a young backcourt and we rely on our frontcourt maturity,” Olive said. “The young kids try not to do too much out there.”
Ahead eight headed into the fourth quarter, Torrey Pines buried Rancho Bernardo (11-4) with a 26-point fourth quarter. The Falcons (13-2) were playing their first non-tournament home game.
Torrey Pines center Colin Porter led all scorers with 16 points and was one of three Falcons in double figures. Guard Brian Hogan led Rancho Bernardo with nine points.
