Sun Valley boys get stingy, streak hits seven
Sun Valley has gotten it done in a lot of ways in its season-opening winning streak. Add “via the defensive end” to the list Thursday.
Vinny DeAngelo scored 15 points and Marvin Freeman added 12, but the defense that limited Oxford to just two points after halftime fueled a 53-14 victory for the Vanguards.
Jarad Owens and Isaac Kennon tallied eight points each for the Vanguards (7-0, 3-0).
In the Central League:
Garnet Valley 64, Upper Darby 61 >> Neel Beniwal scored eight of his 24 points in the third quarter as the Jaguars (4-1, 3-1) opened up an 11-point lead and hung on late. Greg Vlassopoulos added 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Carl Schaller scored 10 points for GV.
Upper Darby got a career-high 31 points from Mamadou Toure. Shareef Jones added 11, but the Royals (2-3, 2-2) made only nine two-pointers to complement 11 threes.
In the Catholic League:
Bonner & Prendergast 77, Conwell-Egan 49 >> Isaiah Wong scored 24 points, Tariq Ingraham added 16 and Mike Perretta hit three 3-pointers for nine points as the Friars (5-0, 2-0) erased all doubt via a 29-13 edge in the third quarter.
Archbishop Wood 88, Cardinal O’Hara 63 >> Adrian Irving scored 14 points, and Solo Bambarra and Tre Dinkins added 13 each, but the Lions were outpaced, 25-6, in the fourth quarter.
In nonleague action:
Episcopal Academy 73, Lincoln 58 >> Alex Capitano scored his 1,000th career point, the reclassified junior transfer from Great Valley going off for a game-high 22 to lead EA.
Matt Dade added 20 points, and Colin Chambers splashed home three 3-pointers for 16 points for EA.
Academy Park 61, Council Rock South 55 >> Tariq Marrero hit four 3-pointers to tally a team-best 17 points, and big 3-pointers late in the fourth quarter from Derrick Northern and Naseim Harley gave AP all the scoring it needed.
