Boys basketball: Lancers outlast Eagles

FOUNTAIN VALLEY - Estancia High senior star Micah Young missed the

second half after injuring an ankle and Orange Lutheran took advantage,

rallying to claim a 51-47 win in the first round of the La Quinta

Tournament Monday at Los Amigos High.

Young, a first-team All-Pacific Coast League and All-Newport-Mesa

District performer last year as a junior, scored seven points before his

injury, to help Estancia (1-1) earn a 27-26 halftime lead.

The Eagles were still up by one heading into the final quarter, when

the Lancers outscored them, 14-9, to advance to tonight’s quarterfinals.

Estancia, paced by 12 points and 10 rebounds from 6-foot-7 junior

center Joey Lindquist, falls into the consolation bracket, where it will

meet the Santa Ana Valley-Los Amigos loser tonight at 5 at La Quinta

High.

Jorge Prado and Jermaine Snell added seven points apiece for the

Eagles.

Sean Luecke led the winners with 24 points.
