Wildcats use fast start to capture Division I title
Last season El Camino fell short in the Division I championship game, falling in overtime. Saturday night the Wildcats left no doubt in the title game, racing out to a big first half lead and rolling to a 59-45 win over Torrey Pines at the Jenny Craig Pavilion.
“Losing it last year made it this much better this year,” said El Camino center Luke Evans. “It feels great.”
El Camino came out running and took control of the game as Torrey Pines struggled to score early. The Wildcats led 15-3 after the first quarter, a quarter in which the Falcons failed to make a field goal.
“I thought that our defensive pressure could get into them a little bit and if we played them tough we could get some turnovers and get an early lead,” said El Camino head coach Ray Johnson. “And we went out and did it.”
Torrey Pines made their first field goal with 6:44 left in the second quarter. But even as the Falcons were warming up, El Camino stayed red hot.
“We came out pumped up and just ready to get it done today,” Evans said.
The Wildcats hit six three-pointers in the first half, including four from guard Alan Cox. Cox scored 14 of his 15 points in the opening 16 minutes, including a buzzer beater from just beyond halfcourt that gave El Camino a 37-16 lead at halftime.
“It felt pretty good, but I knew the game wasn’t over,” Cox said. “I knew we still had 16 minutes to play.”
Torrey Pines came out more settled in the second half and managed to make it a 14-point game by the end of the third quarter. Falcons guard Nick Kerr hit a three-pointer with 4:50 left to cut El Camino’s lead to 10, but that was as close as Torrey Pines would get for the rest of the game.
“We went into the locker room and lost a little bit of momentum and were a little less hyped,” Cox said. “We’ve been working on that all year – coming out starting the third quarter strong. It finally paid off.”
Evans led El Camino (30-3) with a game-high 17 points. In addition to Cox, freshman guard Dayton Boddie finished in double figures with 12 points. For Torrey Pines (26-5), freshman guard Joe Rahon led the scoring with 13 points, eight in the second half.
The Wildcats have been ranked No. 1 in San Diego since the beginning of the year and Saturday night’s win solidifies their claim to the section’s top spot. The win was El Camino’s first section title since 2004.
“El Camino has been on top and always will be on top,” Evans said.
