BOYS’ BASKETBALL ROUNDUP : Los Alamitos Tough Inside, Wins Title

Cory Johnson scored 22 points to lead Los Alamitos to a 72-53 victory over Corona del Mar in the championship game of the Daily Pilot Tip-Off Classic at Corona del Mar High.

Johnson made two three-pointers and eight of 10 free throws for the Griffins (4-0). He also had five rebounds.

But the key for Los Alamitos was its dominance inside. A.D. Lamoreux and Jeremy Vandervoet controlled the lane, scoring 15 points each. They combined for 14 rebounds, and Vandervoet blocked six shots.

“They (Lamoreux and Vandervoet) were able to do the job inside,” Griffins Coach Steve Brooks said. “We’ve got some things to work on, but I’m pleased with where we are at this point.”

The Sea Kings (3-1) were led by Brian Fracalosy’s 12 points but never made a serious run. The Griffins took an early 14-2 lead in the first quarter, and Corona del Mar didn’t get closer than nine points after that.

The Sea Kings trailed, 47-37, at the end of three quarters and Los Alamitos went on a 14-8 run in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.
