BOYS BASKETBALL
SOCAL SHOOTOUT
SONORA 80, CLAREMONT 73
AZUSA — It’s been mostly hit and miss for the Sonora High School boys basketball this season as they Raiders rebuild from advancing to a CIF Southern Section title game the previous two seasons.
Saturday was one of the good days.
Austin Carter had 23 points and Kevin Marlow 18 to lead Sonora to a 80-73 victory over Claremont in the 14th Southern California Shootout at Azusa Pacific University’s Felix Event Center.
Mike Schmidt also had nine points for the Raiders, who improved to 12-9. Sonora won the 3AA Division last season and was runners-up in 2A in 2014.
Kyle Scalmanini scored 23 points and Harlan Maass and Davis Haley had 13 each for the Wolfpack, which slipped to 15-5.
Sonora’s Austin Carter: “It feels good. We worked hard (in this game). We’ve been working hard all year. It’s a good feeling to get this win.”
