Sage Hill extends solid foe

Sage Hill High’s boys basketball team dropped a second-round game

at the La Jolla Tournament Thursday night, but Coach Steve Keith came

away feeling good about his team’s effort.

“We were near-breaking and we cut it to single digits several

times,” said Keith in the wake of a 73-62 loss to a solid Santa Fe

Christian team.

“We grew a lot tonight.”

Michael Fitzhugh led the Lightning with 34 points and Kevin Joyce

added 18 points for Sage Hill, but the winning Eagles poured in nine

three-point shots, including six in the first half when they put

together a 41-28 lead.

Sage Hill continues in the 20-team tournament today.
