Verbum Dei "Details" From
Friday Night's Semifinal--(March 1, 1999)

Wow, there's really someone out there listening.  We almost feel like Sally Fields: "You like us, you really, really like us."  At least somebody, Nick Wynne to be specific who is quickly becoming our eyes and ears in the Central Valley area, cared enough to give us the details in the form of total scoring in their Friday night game with Verbum Dei.  As everyone knows by now, Verb won, 77-46 over Mojave,  and will now advance to the Southern Section Division IV-A finals with Crossroads on Friday night at the Bren Events Center on the campus of UC Irvine.  Of course, it's likely that the Verbum-Crossroads game will be at the same time as the LA City Section finals which will get underway for the Boys at 8:00 p.m., but then life is all about choices (or the lack thereof) isn't it?

Anyway, here's the linescore from Friday night's game, which Nick evidently retrieved from the Bakersfield Californian. Not very "detailed" but then it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick:

Verbum Dei (18-6) 77
Watkins 5, Johnson 7, Cobbs 4, Williams 1, Parmer 34, Dashiell 4, Shuford 2, Dean 6, Davenport 4, Diggs 8, Suazo 2. Totals 27 17-20 77.

Mojave (22-3) 46
McClellan 5, Williams 5, Davis 12, Satterfield 3, Johnson 16, Fulton 5. Totals 15 12-18 46.

Verbum Dei 20 23 18 16 -- 77
Mojave 10 14 11 11 -- 46

3 point goals -- Verbum Dei 6 (Parmer 5, Watkins), Mojave 4 (McClellan, Williams, Satterfield, Johnson). Total fouls -- Verbum 17, Mojave 14. Fouled Out -- none. Technical fouls -- Parmer, Mojave coach.

Nick also reports: "No word on what the technicals were for, but I'm guessing it wasn't anything major or else the "crack" reporting staff at the Californian would have reported it."

Thanks Nick.
