PLEASANTON — Playing without senior standout Kyle Hammond (illness), Crest High’s boys picked up a tight victory on the road at Pleasanton.
“It took us a little bit to figure out how to play,” Crest head coach Travis Hermreck said. “Pleasanton hit a ton of tough shots, so our defense wasn’t as bad as it seems. The bottom line is the boys found out a way to scratch out a win.”
Brock Ellis led Crest (4-1) with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Jesse Boone followed with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Jordan Morton had eight points and nine assists.
