Damien basketball pulls away to beat Colony 97-80 for the championship of the Covina/Sierra Vista tourney title

Damien wins title: A dynamic duo has formed for the Damien High School boys basketball team. Guard Cameron Shelton and Forward Justin Hemsley each had a double-double as the two-man show took over the second half of a 97-80 win over Colony in the Sierra Vista/Covina tournament championship game on Saturday night.
Shelton, who was named tournament Most Valuable Player, led all scorers with 39 points. 24 of those coming in the second half after Damien (5-0) had a narrow 43-42 lead at halftime. He added 11 rebounds. Hemsley scored 28 points and grabbed 16 rebounds.
“(Shelton) had an incredible tournament,” Damien head coach Mike LeDuc said. “He did a little bit of everything for us. He can score. He can rebound. He can pass and handle the ball well. He gets his hands on a lot of balls and gets a lot of steals. He’s also a great leader.”
