HS HOOPS: Campbell Hall leads by 11 over Montclair Prep at halftime

The Vikings started off like they were in a rush to finish off the Mounties and catch the last part of "American Idol," surging to quick 12-point lead in the first five minutes.

Campbell Hall's fast-paced, run-and-gun style was too much in the early going, but Montclair Prep eventually got up to speed and played the Vikings even in the second quarter and trailed 38-27 at halftime.

Standout sophomore Trey Dickerson kept Montclair Prep in the game in the first half, scoring 16 points, including several dazzling drives in traffic.

It was a good matchup in the first half between Dickerson and Campbell Hall's Austin McBroom, one of the top returning guards in the San Fernando Valley. McBroom was hot in the beginning to help Campbell Hall take an early lead, scoring 12 points in the first quarter. But the junior cooled down in the second quarter and did not record a field goal, though he did make 4 of 4 free throws to match Dickerson's 16 points in the first half.
