From The Appeal-Democrat:
Chris Smith scored 16 points, and the Yuba College men's basketball team moved a step closer to another Bay Valley Conference championship with a 71-60 victory over Mendocino in Ukiah on Wednesday night.
The 49ers entered the evening as the No. 2-ranked team in Northern California and the third-ranked team in the state by the California Community College Men's Basketball Coaches Association.
With the win, they improved to 19-4 overall and kept their perfect BVC record intact at 13-0.
"It was fairly close," Yuba coach Doug Cornelius said. "They were a smaller team. They put four out on the perimeter and played us about as well as they could."
Floyd Wormley recorded a double-double with 12 points and 14 rebounds, and Jaysen Williams posted a double-double as well with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Yuba will look to wrap up its eighth consecutive BVC title with a win over Los Medanos at home on Friday.

From the Cabrillo College Men's Basketball site:
The Seahawks saw their 10 game winning streak and a perfect conference record go down tonight at the hands of San Jose City College in San Jose tonight. The first half was a defensive struggle where neither team was able to get much going offensively. At halftime, San Jose led 20-15.
The second half saw Cabrillo continue to struggle on the offensive end but San Jose got things going pushing the lead to 10 after two quick possessions. The lead would balloon to 19 points before Cabrillo would make a furious comeback led by Warren Jackson. The Seahawks cut the lead to six with two minutes to play but a costly turnover and some clutch shooting from the free throw line by San Jose would keep Cabrillo at bay. The final horn sounded and the Seahawks were handed their first loss since late December 64-56.
Jackson would lead all scorers tonight with 26 points including 19 in the second half, no other Seahawk would reach double figures. The loss puts Cabrillo in a tie for first place in the Coast Conference South with San Jose, each team with 1 conference loss, Cabrillo is now 17-7 on the season with a home contest vs. West Valley on Friday night, tip-off at 7pm

From The Modesto Bee:
It looked like Columbia College’s farewell to its sophomores would not end well. Then came the second half and and a big comeback by the Claim Jumpers.
Rafe King delivered 19 points, 15 of them during the final 20 minutes, as Columbia galloped past Merced College 61-46 on Wednesday night at Oak Pavilion in the Claim Jumpers’ final home game.
Columbia (12-13, 5-5) won its second consecutive Central Valley Conference game by overcoming a 34-25 halftime deficit. Merced (2-20, 1-9), which dropped its ninth in a row, was limited to only 12 points in the second half.
King’s slam-dunk off a miss by teammate Ian Merzwinski sparked Columbia early in the second half. Tige Wingo tossed in 14 points and Danny Radford had 12 points for the Claim Jumpers, who will finish the season with road games at Porterville and CVC-leading Fresno.

“We did a great job in the second half of getting back on defense and limiting their transition opportunities, and getting to free-throw line,” said Storm head coach Steve Ball, whose team attempted 32 of its 39 free throws after halftime. “We did a better job lift faking as they tried to block shots.
“We just played a lot smarter than we did in the first half. Our basketball IQ came back into play. We stopped trying to keep up with the Joneses in a rat race and started playing college basketball.”
