Things got really bright on Wednesday night when the Trojans lead from the tip to the final whistle during their 62-55 win over visiting Ohlone College of Fremont.

Skyline led by as many as 16 points midway through the second half but allowed the Renegades to close to within 5 with just three minutes remaining. In the final minutes the Trojans kept their composure and found a way to break the Ohlone pressure to secure the seven point win.

SKYLINE LOSES TO WEST VALLEY IN TOURNAMENT FINAL
December 11, 2005
Skyline 74, West Valley 84
Skyline College lost in the Skyline Classic Championship game to West Valley College , the 3 rd ranked team in the state. The Trojans got off to a quick start, leading 6-0 before leading scorer Jabari Davis suffered a severe ankle sprain. That left Skyline with just two available post players. Sam Wilhoite and Filip Popovic (both 6'7 forwards) missed the entire tournament due to injuries suffered in the prior weeks. Skyline battled as much as it could and stayed close, trailing 41-35 at the half.
West Valley used a combination of good shooting and offensive rebounding to keep the Trojans from making a prolonged run. The final score was 84-74. Skyline was led by Paul Phangureh's 20 points and Darren Morrison's 14 points and 4 assists. Brandon O'Bannon scored his season-high of 12 points and Jeremy Francis added 13 as well. |
