HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL ROUNDUP : Torrey Pines Drops RBV Back Into Pack

Torrey Pines held a one-point advantage going into the final quarter, then proceeded to outscore Rancho Buena Vista, 21-16, for a crucial, 64-58 Palomar League victory.

RBV (9-9, 5-4), which had been hanging surprisingly close in the standings, fell three games behind league-leading Mt. Carmel and two behind Torrey Pines (20-2, 8-1).

Torrey Pines’ Kyle Armstrong led all scorers with 18. Carter Brown helped put RBV away late in the game with some crucial one-and-ones. He was five of seven from the line and finished with 13 points.

RBV’s Bond Schoefel entered the game in the second quarter and scored 10 of his 16 points before halftime. Brad Grubaugh also scored 16 for the Longhorns.

Daryl Parker, who entered the game with a 23.7-point average, was held to just 12.

Mt. Carmel 59, Fallbrook 54--Mt. Carmel (16-3, 9-0) maintained an eight-point lead through much of the game, but things tightened up with two minutes left.

Fallbrook’s Darnell Lee made a field goal, and Mt. Carmel’s Shane Knight was called for a technical foul. Chris Miller made both free throws, then got the ball back on the inbounds and hit a three-pointer to cut Fallbrook’s deficit to 55-54.

But Mt. Carmel’s Ryan Wootton made a quick layup, Fallbrook (14-7, 5-4) missed its next shot, and the Sundevils then scored again to put it away.
