LJCD cagers fall at Nike Tourney
The La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School girls basketball team tried to pull all the tricks out of the bag in their 61-49 loss to Highlands Ranch of Colorado at the recent Nike Tournament of Champions. The game was for fifth place in the Tournament of Champions.
Janae Fulcher did not play due to a knee injury from the previous night. Without Fulcher, LJCD was forced to play a few players at positions unfamiliar to them, and they almost pulled off a victory. With six minutes left to play and down by eight points, Highlands Ranch committed several turnovers, giving LJCD a chance to win, but the comeback came up short.
Dominique Conners led all scorers with 20 points and 14 rebounds.
LJCD is off for the holidays and will resume play on Jan. 5, 2007, with games in the Bay Area against Sacred Heart Cathedral and Pinewood on Jan. 6. The Lady Torreys will begin league play on Jan. 12 against The Bishop’s School.
