"When sophomore guard Phoenix Smith came off the bench on Monday night in Crespi's season opener against Cleveland, two things were clear: His big hair and his 5-foot-7 frame, the smallest on the court. He played junior varsity last season, and let's just say Celts coach Derek Fisher is going to have fun working with him. Smith was three for three on three-pointers and finished with 16 points in Crespi's 81-44 win over Cleveland."
"He put together a nine-point surge between the end of the first quarter and the start of the second quarter. Leaving him open this season will not be a good strategy. Another JV player from last season, Cayman Martin, led Crespi in scoring with 17 points. Carter Barnes had 14 points and Isaiah Barnes 13 points. Crespi has a big game coming up Saturday at Pauley Pavilion against Mater Dei."
Crespi defeated Cleveland 81-44 as sophomore guard Phoenix Smith contributed 16 points off the bench, hitting three three-pointers and sparking a nine-point run. Cayman Martin led Crespi with 17 points while Carter Barnes had 14 and Isaiah Barnes 13. Crespi will face Mater Dei Saturday at Pauley Pavilion. St. Bernard beat Claremont 81-56 with Brandon Granger scoring 30. South Pasadena defeated Franklin 77-43 as Nick Rios scored 22 and Rob Khollesi added 21. Carson improved to 2-0 under new coach Corey Kitani with Blake McCall posting 16 points and nine rebounds. Mira Costa and Wiseburn Da Vinci also recorded wins.
