Beyer hits 13 3-pointers to beat Weston Ranch
By Dave Campbell, CORRESPONDENT
TRACY — When a team makes just two of 11 free throws down the stretch, it can spell trouble. Such was not the case for Beyer High School on Monday when Brett Blom — its defensive specialist — drained seven of his team's 13 3-pointers in a 70-51 spanking of Weston Ranch in opening-round action of the 17th Tracy Winter Classic at West High.
"There were times when we got three or four shots in a row, and that was crucial because then they got frustrated," Patriots coach Mike Vander Molen said. "And then we were able to get a couple of easy baskets which gave us confidence for our outside game."
Blom led all scorers with 23 points and nailed four from behind the arc in the third quarter. Chris Teevan (11 points) and Peter Brichka (12) each added a trio of 3-pointers for Beyer (7-3).
"I'm normally not that good," Blom said. "But they were falling tonight."
Trailing 35-21 at halftime, the Cougars (6-2) had their most productive period in the third with 16 points, but the barrage of Beyer 3-pointers muted any chance for a Weston Ranch comeback as the Patriots took a commanding 51-37 lead into the final frame.
"It's as if they just started feeling it," Cougars coach Bill Slicker said. "No matter what they were throwing up, it was going in.
"I kind of got on the kids early on for not getting a hand up, but even after we got a hand up they were still making them. It didn't matter what defense we were in, they just kept knocking them down."
James Nunnally and Walter Jackson each had nine points for Weston Ranch followed closely by teammates Vinnie Devencenzi and Darrin Williams with eight each.
Williams and Khiry Thomas led all rebounders with six each.

Beyer shoots past Weston Ranch
TRACY — Forget the North Pole, Beyer High’s varsity boys basketball team is enjoying their winter season with warm temperatures in three-point land.
The Patriots could not miss from beyond the arc in a 70-51 blowout of Weston Ranch.
Beyer hit 13 three’s and 12 field-goals en route to a first round victory at the Winter Holiday Basketball Classic at West High on Monday.
“I think they got us into a funk with those three’s, it really took the kids right out of the game,” Weston Ranch coach Bill Slikker said. “You could just see their heads sink every time they hit one.”
Beyer was up 35-21 at the half, but came out swinging.
The team scored 26-points and dropped seven three-balls to collect a lead Weston Ranch could not respond to.
Brett Blume dropped in four of his seven three’s in the third quarter, eventually leading Beyer with 23 points.
Weston Ranch saw quality bench time and fair production in the fourth quarter, the Cougars winning a 14-9 battle.
Eleven Weston Ranch players made it to the scoreboard, Darrin Williams and Vinnny Devencenzi leading the way with eight a-piece while Walter Jackson put up nine.
Mic’ael Thomas and Daniel Brown added five while Sam Wilson scored four and James Nunnally six.
Weston Ranch committed 20 fouls, including the first five of the game.
“I have got to tip my hat to Beyer for the way they played,” Slikker said. “They were on fire.”
The Patriots success with outside shooting destroyed the Cougars’ zone defense, Beyer often making up to five or six passes before draining a trey.
The quick movement left the Weston Ranch defense exhausted and defeated.
Beyer sunk one long-ball at the buzzer ending the third quarter, allowing the team to enter the fourth with a 63-42 advantage. Devencenzi scored five and Wilson four in a desperate period, but the bench was summoned fairly soon.
The Patriots will move on to face Samuel Hancock in the winners bracket at 6 p.m. today.
The Stockton school easily defeated Livingston in their opening match.
Weston Ranch will play Livingston at 3 p.m. at West today.
