Hesperia Christian had to start their season on the road on Thursday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They took a blow against The Webb Schools Gauls, falling 82-47. The Patriots were down 64-32 at the end of the third quarter, and things only got worse from there.
Defeat or not, Hesperia Christian got some senior leadership from Ethan Flores and Jacob Newman. Flores dropped a double-double on 15 points and 11 rebounds, while Newman had ten points. Flores is also on a roll when it comes to blocks, as he's now posted two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Andrew Paik went supernova for The Webb Schools, shooting 6-for-10 from beyond the arc and almost dropping a double-double on 22 points and nine steals. The dominant performance also gave Paik a new career-high in threes (six). Jimmie Brown III was another key player, almost dropping a double-double on 14 points and nine rebounds.
