Moreau Catholic builds double-digit advantage in the first half, rolls into semifinal matchup against California.
HAYWARD — Two storied East Bay high school basketball programs, coached by men rooted deep in the fabric of the sport, met in an elimination game Friday night.With the gym filled to capacity, Moreau Catholic grabbed the upper hand in the first half on its home court and never allowed Bishop O’Dowd to make a run that might have intensified the quarterfinal down the stretch.
Robert Morgan II scored 16 points, Kellen Hampton had nine points and 11 rebounds and LeBrie Goudy-Lee finished with 10 points and five rebounds for Moreau. The Mariners also got the usual high energy from 5-foot-9 senior point guard Jesse Ybarra, a kid with bushy black hair and no low gear in his game.“I just try to be there for my team,” Ybarra said. “They need me to do all the hard work out there, all the little things, all the aggressive plays to get the ball back on defense. I try to do it all for my team, share the ball, get everybody involved.”The Mariners led 17-10 after the first quarter and 33-21 at halftime.
Junior Leo Chapman led the Dragons with 12 points. Seniors Amos Hodgson and Miles Burrows combined for 15 points.
