The defending Central Section champs are continuing their winning ways in 2024. Clovis North put together yet another dominant win in latest league matchup, taking down Clovis West 3-0 in Tuesday’s away game. Three quick goals early in the first half sealed the victory for the Broncos. Clovis North now stands at 4-0-1 in league.
Here are some of the images from Clovis North’s matchup against Clovis West …
Last year’s 83-41 loss against San Joaquin Memorial was still fresh on the mind of the Bullard Knights as they entered Tuesday night’s matchup against the Panthers. Motivated by that blowout loss, the Knights were determined to come out with a different result nearly a year later as they visited San Joaquin Memorial.
The Knights’ plan nearly didn’t happen. Trailing by a point in the final minute, Bullard struggled to make free throws. But the Panthers didn’t help themselves either at the line.
So with 16 seconds left, the Knights executed their play patiently and made it possible for Dalen Felder to get the layup that would seal the victory.
“It feels good because last year we came in here and they blew us out,” Bullard junior Jaleel Jackson said. “It feel real good to come back and get them back, win it for the squad.”
Jackson missed consecutive free throws as the Knights tried to take the lead in the final minute. But he also grabbed his own rebound after missing the free throws, giving the Knights a chance to win the game.
Clovis North senior Connor Amundsen dropped a career-high 42 points on Friday when the Broncos faced the Windward Wildcats in the Los Angeles-based tournament, The Classic at Damien. Amundsen’s career high, however, wasn’t enough for the Broncos, who lost 71-66.
Amundsen made five 3-pointers on his career night. He also recorded six rebounds and three assists.
Amundsen had another strong performance a day earlier when Clovis North defeated Heritage Christian 69-59. The senior guard posted 20 points, along with five assists and five rebounds in the win.
Amundsen was named MVP of the Mission Prep Christmas Classic on Dec. 22 when the Broncos won the tournament. The star student-athlete had one of his best games of the Christmas Classic when he posted 27 points, 10 assists and five steals in an 82-71 win over Capital Christian.
