Although El Segundo scratched back into the game by the third quarter, it was the dominant run of 21-8 leading off the first that set an almost unbearable pace. It seemed to me that every player on the Lawndale, now 9-6 (1-0), hit a 3-pointer: D’Lano Beckles, Nathan McAnally, Will Newman, Myron Phillips and Marquinn Walton, with Newman leading all scorers with 17 points. Sergio Blandon, R’Lando Beckles, Chimezie Metu, Myron Phillips and Chris White also scored for the victorious Cardinals. Photos by Shelley Kemp.
