Boulder Creek vs. Deer Valley, Mountain Ridge, Prescott
The Boulder Creek boys’ basketball team didn’t have much time to rest after a big win over O’Connor High School on January 12. District rival Deer Valley visited the Jaguars on Saturday, Jan. 14. Then the Jags traveled to Grand Canyon University to play Mountain Ridge on Monday, Jan. 16. It was back to Boulder Creek on Jan. 17 to play Prescott H.S. 3 games in four days presented quite a challenge for the team. Depth and player rotation had to be a primary concern for Coach Randy Walker and his staff.
Deer Valley came in the game with BC minus one of the best players in the State of Arizona, Tre Ogles. Typically you can expect a team to rally when presented with such a challenge and that’s exactly what the Jaguars got from DV. However, the Boulder Creek offense came out sharp in the first half scoring 40 points. Randyll Roberts and Johnnie Panfil took turns executing the man to man offense. Crisp ball movement and sharp shooting kept BC in the lead throughout the first half. Once again the defense, particularly boxing out after shots, was troublesome. Far too many second chance points allowed Deer Valley to hang with the Jags. At the half the Jaguars led 40-32.
Obviously Coach Walker had a discussion about defensive intensity at halftime. The Jags signature man to man defense and full court pressure resulted in a big third quarter run as Boulder Creek outscored Deer Valley 23-8. Connor Kuchar and Anthony Perri came off the bench to light a spark on both offense and defense. In the fourth quarter the Jags continued to play rock solid defense and cruised to a 78-54 victory.
Next was a MLK Holiday match up with Mountain Ridge High School at the spectacular new arena at Grand Canyon University. In the first game of the season vs. Mountain Ridge the Jags would grab an 8 point lead only to see a very pesky, determined Mountain Ridge team close the gap. The same type of game occurred this time around. Mountain Ridge played some of the best defense we have seen all year. Boulder Creek had a difficult time running the offense and the Jags couldn’t get their running game going. At one point in the first half the Jags had a 9 point lead, only to watch Mountain Ridge crash the offensive boards for second, third, and even fourth chance points. Connor Kuchar entered the game and provided solid minutes on both offense and defense. At 6’8” his intimidating presence in the middle is undeniable.
With 6.2 seconds to go and the Jaguars leading 50-47, the Mountain Lions set up to inbound the ball at half court. The discussion among the fans was “do you foul Mountain Ridge allowing them 2 free throws?” Even if they make both we could run the clock out. Weston Newell ended that speculation with a steal on the inbounds pass. Mountain Ridge then fouled Newell who made 1 of 2 FTS. The game ended with BC squeaking out a hard fought 51-47 victory.
On Tuesday, January 17, Prescott High School made the trip to Boulder Creek. From the start the Jags appeared to be the more talented, athletic team. However, Prescott played tough throughout the first quarter and trailed only by a point, 18-17. The Jaguars quickness and athleticism kicked in to high gear in the second quarter. Full court pressure resulted in numerous Prescott turnovers and BC scores. The Jags extended the second quarter lead to 44-25.
The third quarter proved to be one of the best quarters of basketball Boulder Creek has played all year. Everyone contributed to the party as the Jags outscored Prescott 31-8. All 12 players saw significant playing time and contributed. At the final buzzer the Jaguars won 85-36. Keep in mind that Prescott had 17 points at the end of the first quarter. BC allowed a mere 19 points for the final 3 quarters combined!! Scoring was about as balanced as it could get. Weston Newell led the way with 15 points. Josh Braun chipped in 14. Stephen Crim finished with 12 points. Randyll Roberts and Tyler Whiley scored 11 each.
A final important note. As I have written in the past month, the defensive effort and blocking out/rebounding has been suspect far too often. When this team focuses on those key areas they win and win by a substantial margin. Most common observers pay close attention to how many points each player has. It’s time for each and every Boulder Creek basketball fan to recognize and cheer for the guys that go out and give a 100% defensive and rebounding effort. Let’s show our guys how much we appreciate those stats that don’t get the headlines. That effort makes all the difference in the success of our team. Next up is Caesar Chavez. They are tough and rated among the top 5 teams in Division I in Arizona. This game will mean a lot in the Jags drive to succeed in the State Tournament. Defense and rebounding, giving no second offensive chances to Chavez. D Up!!!

Jags Rout O'Connor
January 12, 2012
There was a feeding frenzy last night and it had nothing to do with sharks swarming bloody meat. The Boulder Creek boys’ basketball team got back to their winning formula Thursday night against Sandra Day O’Connor, 81-51. Every player saw action and it was evident that they all had a burning desire to contribute, and they did. From the start of the game the Jags turned up the defensive pressure going man to man, full court. By the end of the first quarter BC surged to a 10 point lead. They never looked back.
Josh Braun paced the Jaguars with 20 points including two monster dunks in the second half that even drew cheers from the O’Connor student section. Stephen Crim played his usual tough inside game for 17 points. Weston Newell dropped 14.
Even though the Jags played an aggressive, full court defense there were lapses on the perimeter that allowed O’Connor to penetrate and kick out to the open man for more three’s than Coach Walker would care to see. Boulder Creek also tended to leak down court before the rebound was secure. Boxing out still needs more work. Overall the team took a step toward the type of play that they will need to compete with the elite Division I teams of Arizona.
On the downside O’Connor played their usual chippy, some might legitimately call it dirty, play. In one sequence Weston Newell stole the ball from O’Connor’s Dan Peltin who promptly tripped Newell from behind. In another play, O’Connor’s Theo Igwe threw elbows, then a punch at one of the Jaguars. Then, at the end of the game, O’Connor’s Wes Meredith pushed Anthony Perri from behind as he went for a layup prompting a flagrant foul call. Unfortunately this is not a one game occurrence. The same trashy play occurred in the first meeting at Boulder Creek. One can only wonder if O’Connor does this in every game and if so, what action will, or should, be taken by AIA or the Deer Valley district.

Back To Regular Season
December 10, 2012
The Boulder Creek boys basketball team got back to regular season action last Friday night with a solid 59-47 win over the Mesa Jackrabbits. The Jags were up by 5 points at halftime after and hard fought first half. In the third quarter the Jags took control and surged to a 15 point lead. From there Coach Walker was able to utilize his bench and the Jags coasted to a 12 point win.
Tuesday night the Jags lost to Westwind Prep by a score of 77-72. This game was all about poor defense and worse rebounding. BC was also very slow in transition giving up easy breakaway baskets by Westwind. There is no way BC can give up 77 points in a 32 minute high school basketball game. Stats and points really don’t matter much after a loss like that. There was far too much reaching with their arms and hands, and not moving their feet against a quick Westwind Prep team. 3 Jaguars fouled out.
To their credit the Jaguars, down 15 points in the third quarter, fought back to within 3 points with 2 minutes left in the game. Boulder Creek then had to foul which usually meant that PeeWee Gardner, the talented point guard from Westwind, went to the line. He didn't miss.
The Jags have to dig deep and summon the will to rebound and play defense against O’Connor on Thursday night.
