The Bishop’s School Knights (18-5 overall, 4-1 in the Coastal League) defeated the Horizon Panthers, 42-32, in a men’s basketball game at Horizon last Friday, Feb. 5. Behind the play of 6-foot-4 senior Malik Love and his brother, 6-2 sophomore Dominique Love, 5-9 sophomore Dominique Watkins, and 6-5 junior Stephen Kaiser, Bishop’s, the eighth-ranked team in San Diego by www.maxpreps.com, led 12-6 at the end of the first quarter. “This was our fourth game in seven days,” Knights coach Tom Tarantino said. Bishop’s tried not to let the fatigue show, as 6-foot-8 senior Omar Richards scored three quick points early in the second quarter to pull the Panthers within three at 12-9. “We came out a little bit slow,” Malik Love said. The Knights started to speed things up, going on an 11-6 run to extend their advantage to 23-15 heading into the locker room at halftime. “We tried to get up and down the court and force them (Horizon) to have to run the floor,” Malik Love said. After the intermission, Bishop’s burst ahead on baskets as Kaiser, Malik Love and Dominique Love built a bulge of 30-22 by the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Panthers closed the gap to 32-26 on a four-point play by 6-1 senior point guard Devyn Iglehart. But unfortunately for Horizon, the Knights would outscore them 10-6 the rest of the way to seal the victory. Malik Love led Bishop’s with a game-high 14 points, followed in the scoring column by Kaiser (7 points), Watkins (5 points), Dominique Love (10 points) and 5-10 junior guard Ryan Chong (6 points). Earlier in the week, the Knights suffered a tough 56-52 loss to the Francis Parker Lancers in a Coastal League game at Bishop’s. “We hadn’t lost a game to Parker in quite awhile,” Malik Love said. In that effort, Kaiser led the Knights with a team-high 15 points, followed by Malik Love (13 points), Dominique Love (9 points), Chong (8 points) and Watkins (7 points).
