HS HOOPS: Golden Valley is all over Lonnie Jackson in Foothill showdown

Every time Valencia star Lonnie Jackson has seen the basketball, two or three Golden Valley defenders are all over him, and Jackson is getting frustrated.

The 6-foot-3 junior has turned the ball over six times in the first half while scoring just nine points on 4-for-9 shooting, and visiting Valencia leads 35-33 at halftime in a key Foothill League showdown.

Jackson isn't just standing around. He has five rebounds, three assists and two steals, but he came in averaging 24.5 points, and I would expect him to be hungry for the ball once the second half begins.
