BOYS’ BASKETBALL

Renaissance Academy 51, Damien 49: Senior guard Gil Tacita, who was named tournament Most Valuable Player, scored 16 points for the Wildcats in the championship game of the Nogales Tournament on Wednesday night. All-tournament selection Brian Bourgeois added 14 points for the Wildcats (9-5).

“We’re jelling with all these new kids and young guys,” said Renaissance Coach Sid Cooke, whose team has notched victories over Nogales, La Serna and Ayala. “Those are all Division II teams and we’re in [Division] V-A, so hopefully we can make noise.”

Tacita finished with a team-high 19 points Tuesday in the Wildcats’ 57-55 tournament win against Nogales. Bourgeois added 15 points for Renaissance Academy.

Montebello 62, St. Francis 52: Tommy Jordan had 15 points and Spencer Nieves added 10 for the Golden Knights on Wednesday in the championship game of the La Salle/Temple City Tournament at La Salle High.

“We turned the ball over way too much, we panicked and we couldn’t hit a shot in the first half,” St. Francis Coach Ray O’Brien said. “We were able to come back in the second half.

“[Montebello was] much more aggressive and experienced than us.”

Jordan and Nieves were selected to the all-tournament squad.
