Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Tehachapi). They strolled past the Palmdale Falcons with points to spare on Friday, taking the game 79-60. Given the Warriors' advantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 244th, while the Falcons are ranked 779th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
When it comes to explaining why Palmdale lost, don't look at Carlos Rodriguez. Despite the final result, he posted 27 points. Rodriguez continues to improve, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. Anthony Delouth was another key player, putting up 12 points.
