Lacy Adds Frills to Agoura Victory

Jennifer Lacy, daughter of former professional baseball player Lee Lacy, is quickly making her own name in girls’ basketball.

Lacy had 21 points and 10 rebounds for Agoura High in a 48-37 victory over Glendale in a Burroughs tournament pool-play game Thursday night at Burroughs High.

That followed a 31-point performance in a 55-41 victory over North Hollywood on Wednesday.

“She’s big-time,” Coach Rich Allen of North Hollywood said. “She’s not going to be a secret for too long.”

Lacy, a 6-1 junior center, is averaging 22 points and 14 rebounds after averaging 11.3 points and 12.4 rebounds last season.

“She’s way up from last year,” Coach Ollie Otis of Agoura said. “She’s worked hard and made a big jump and that’s good.”

Lacy scored four consecutive points to end the third quarter as Agoura (6-2) forged a 32-32 tie.

In the fourth quarter, she fueled a 7-0 run with a steal and a basket and iced the game with a turn-around jumper and two free throws in the final 45 seconds.

“I’m playing good but I’m planning on getting even better,” Lacy said.

Anika Hartounian scored 14 points for Glendale (5-3).

In other Burroughs pool-play games:

Thousand Oaks 54, Hoover 36--Elisa Corral scored 12 of her 16 points in the fourth quarter, when Courtney Vasquez scored seven of her nine to help the Lancers win.

Thousand Oaks (4-4) scored 28 fourth-quarter points and stretched a 26-25 third-quarter lead to 48-33 in the last two minutes.

Tenie Hartounian scored the last 12 points of the first half for Hoover (4-4) and the Tornadoes cut a 12-point deficit to three.

Hartounian scored four of the Tornadoes’ six third-quarter points, helping Hoover to a 25-22 edge early in the quarter.

Birmingham 55, North Hollywood 51--Octavia Askew sank all seven of her free throws and scored 15 of her 24 points in the fourth quarter, and the Patriots rallied to hand the Huskies their fourth consecutive defeat.

Askew had eight rebounds and six assists, and Ofalangi Mailangi added 21 points and 10 rebounds for Birmingham (3-1), which rallied from a 41-31 third-quarter deficit.

Richelle Sherman had 23 points and 11 rebounds for North Hollywood and Kaipresha Price scored 14 points for the Huskies but fouled out early in the fourth quarter.

The Patriots scored six consecutive points after Price left to start their comeback.
