"Joe Sterling, one of the best three-point shooters in the country, tried to put up a three-point attempt from long range at the outset of the third quarter on Wednesday night at Sierra Canyon. He must have forgotten who was guarding him, because Brandon McCoy came flying like Superman to block the shot, then took the deflected ball, dribbled and delivered an uncontested dunk."
"McCoy's athleticism was on display all night as No. 1-ranked Sierra Canyon put itself in position to be the No. 1 seed for next week's Mission League tournament with a 55-47 home victory over Harvard-Westlake. McCoy finished with 20 points, including back-to-back threes in the second quarter when he helped Sierra Canyon (19-1, 5-0) wipe away an early deficit. He had zero points in the first quarter and 20 points the rest of the way."
Sierra Canyon beat Harvard-Westlake 55-47 to position itself for the top seed in the Mission League tournament. Brandon McCoy scored 20 points after a scoreless first quarter, hitting back-to-back threes and blocking a long-range attempt before dunking the deflection. McCoy's defense limited Joe Sterling to one of eight shooting and a season-low five points, with Sterling also encountering foul trouble. Brannon Martinsen contributed 16 points after settling into a complementary role. Pierce Thompson led Harvard-Westlake with 14 points as the Wolverines struggled against Sierra Canyon's half-court trap and lacked consistent secondary scoring.
