Behind the play of Charles Stone and Daniel Brown, the Washington Generals were too athletic for Jefferson and won 94-45 Friday in the first round of the Pacific Open basketball Tournament.

The Generals, who outrebounded the Democrats, 49-21, broke the game open with an 18-0 spurt in the second quarter to take a 26-point lead. That lead grew to 53 points in the second half.

South Torrance 68, Dorsey 58--The Dons shot only 31 percent from the field as South Torrance cruised to a first-round Pacific Open victory.

Several Dons, including starting forward Wil O’Neal, did not play because they appeared in a game Thursday night against Servite in the Tournament of Champions.

Crenshaw 106, Cleveland 46-- Damian Willis scored 22 points and Corey Williams added 20 points and 11 rebounds as the Cougars surpassed the 100-point mark for the fourth time in seven games in a nonconference game at Crenshaw on Wednesday.

After taking a 28-8 first-quarter lead, Crenshaw used a full-court press to force turnovers and create easy scoring opportunities.

Cleveland’s James Brignac led all scorers with 26 points.
