Game Review
Hesperia Christian faced off with the tournament host, Hesperia High School and despite a brilliant comeback in the fourth quarter (and five straight 3 pointers), fell short and lost 78-68.

Despite HCS outstanding comeback in the fourth, in the end it was the outstanding free throw shooting of the Scorpions in the final couple of minutes. Jaron Strickland and Bobby Zuniga went 10 for 10 from the charity line to seal the victory for Hesperia.

Junior Mike Petersen led all HCS scorers with 14 points. Billy Hague and Zach Howard got 12 and 11 points respectively. Although HCS was the taller team tonight, they only got 22 rebounds and had 20 turnovers. Freshmen Preston Lamarca and Josh Ellis contributed critical threes that kept HCS in the game. Jaron Strickland scored 31 points for the winners and could not be stopped. Hesperia is now 3-3 while HCS drops to 3-4.

Game Preview
Hesperia Christian meets Hesperia High School in the Hesperia Christmas Tournament. HCS is now 3-3 while Hesperia High School is 2-3. HCS will have to contain the Scorpions top star Aaron Dutcher. HCS has to overcome their free throw shooting woes and they will have to attack their turnovers and rebounding, neither which is stalwart at the moment. 6'6" and 6'5" players need to get more than 7 rebounds a game. The Patriots need to work hard on their defensive skills. They also need to work on coming off the starting block early. Every loss this season, they have allowed the opponent to jump to an early lead in the first quarter. They also have to improve their second quarter play. HCS senior Lorne Barton remains doubtful for this game. It should be noted that Apple Valley Christian has already beaten the Scorpions this season, 58-50.
