| River Recatto (23) of Paloma Valley battles Elsinore's Preston Beverly (2) for a rebound during Saturday's final game of the day. |
For the first time, all three league openers were held at the same location. The most competitive game was the opener, in which Lakeside defeated Temescal Canyon, 58-56.
Perris improved its overall record to 10-4 with a 70-32 victory over Heritage in the second game. In the final game of the day, Elsinore scored a 76-42 win over Paloma Valley.
In the opener, freshman Jailen Moore of Lakeside led all scorers with 21 points, including six 3-point baskets.
Lakeside jumped out to a 13-2 lead and was in control for the most of the first half, but Temescal Canyon cut the deficit to 29-27 by halftime. The Titans finally tied the score at 45 in the fourth quarter and took the lead for the first time at 47-45. Lakeside rallied, however, and took a five-point lead at 58-53 with 22.3 seconds left when Moore made three free throws after being fouled on a shot from the left corner.
Temescal Canyon's Luke Timm sank a layup with a few seconds remaining to cut the lead to 58-56, but Lakeside held on for the victory. Micah Diaz added 14 points for the winners, while Jay Merriweather led Temescal Canyon scorers with 20 points.
In the Perris-Heritage game, senior forward Tyler Cooper led all scorers with 30 points for the Panthers, who led 16-3 after one quarter and 34-13 at halftime.
Heritage has only four players over 6 feet, and two of them were unavailable for today's game. Matt Palmer, a 6-4 senior, was playing in the Inland Empire Classic All-Star football game.
In their absence, the Patriots had no one in double figures. Junior guard Walter Meinzer led the way with 8 points, followed by Xavier Johnson with 7.
Elsinore got 25 points from junior guard Trevon Lampkin and 17 from senior forward Reynaldo Solorzano in the win over Paloma Valley. Junior forward London Hoxie was Paloma's leading scorer with nine points.
