Serra High by two over Mitty

From the Serra High athletics site:

The Padre basketball team defeated the visiting Mitty Monarchs on Saturday night to complete the three game WCAL week with a perfect 3-0 record. 

The win puts the Padres in a three-way tie for first in the WCAL standings with Sacred Heart and Mitty.  

Serra jumped out to an early one-point lead at the end of the first quarter, but Mitty answered and took an eight-point lead into the locker room at the half.  

The third quarter was pivotal as Serra was able to erase the lead and head into the fourth quarter with a two-point lead.  

The score was 58-50 Serra with about three minutes left and the Padres were able to withstand the Monarch surge at the end, holding on by a score of 61-59.  

Senior Jason Barsochinni led the Padres with 15 points while junior Henry Caruso chipped in with 14 points and 8 rebounds.  

The win puts the Padres mark at 13-2 (4-1 WCAL) with a trip to St. Ignatius up next on Wednesday.

Lumpkins Notches Second Career Player of the Week Award
January 24, 2011

Junior forward Stephen Lumpkins has been named Anaconda Patriot League Player of the Week for the first time this season, conference officials announced Monday.

Lumpkins helped American University notch a pair of key conference victories last week over Army and Holy Cross. In Wednesday’s 65-62 win in Bender Arena, he recorded 16 points, nine rebounds and a season-high three blocks against the Black Knights. The junior built on his strong performance with another great effort on Saturday, tallying his fifth double-double of the season in a 60-57 win at Holy Cross. Lumpkins scored 20 points for the third time this season, converting 9 of 12 field goals and a pair of free throws. He also recorded another block and pulled down 10 boards, including four offensive rebounds that led to second chances for American.

The California native also became the 27th Eagle in program history to reach 500 career rebounds on Saturday. He now has 507 total boards, which places him six behind Jim Shickora ’64 and Daryl Holmes ’90 for 25th place all-time.

For the week, Lumpkins averaged 18.0 ppg, 9.5 rpg and 2.0 bpg while shooting 71.4 percent from the floor. He currently leads the Patriot League with 8.0 boards per game and also ranks 10th in the conference in scoring (12.8 ppg). This is the second Player of the Week award of Lumpkins’ career.

American is 18-8 this season, 8-3 in conference play. A Serra High grad, Stephen is averaging 13.3 points a contest, shooting 58% and grabbing eight rebounds a game. He also has a team-leading 30 shotblocks.
