The Bellarmine-Jefferson High boys’ basketball coaches thought they had their players ready to deal with the deep sightlines and the NBA dimensions and expansive three-point line of Staples Center. But with a group of transfers this season, many of the Guards didn’t play in the Staples Center game a year ago and were unfamiliar. As a result, Bell-Jeff had a dismal shooting performance Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014 against San Gabriel Academy and former Providence standout Marcus LoVett Jr. In the end, it wasn’t even close, as the Eagles cruised to a 66-33 nonleague victory.
