Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Leland). They pulled ahead with a 60-59 photo finish over the South Delta Bulldogs on Tuesday. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Cubs considering their 26-point performance the game before.
South Delta's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Takoreyon Bee, who dropped a double-double on 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Amarion Sanders, who went 5 of 11 on his way to 15 points. Those 12 boards gave Bee a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Lacarius Myles, who posted seven points along with eight boards and four blocks.
