CERES— The Weston Ranch Cougars wasted little time introducing Central Valley to the dominant side of the Valley Oak League, running the Hawks out of the gym 80-36 Wednesday night in Ceres.“It was 29-13 after the first quarter, we came out and pressured them right away,” Weston Ranch head coach Bill Slikker said. “We remember what its like in that first varsity season.
We remember those big eyes.”Central Valley came into the contest overmatched against an explosive Cougar team poised on making a run for the VOL crown.The Cougars held a 48-24 lead heading into the intermission and would do nothing to violate the comfortable cushion they provided for themselves down the stretch.“Any time you jump out to an early lead it’s tough for a young team to respond to that,” Slikker said. “We got the opportunity to get everybody in the game, so I got to see what some of our other players can do.“And a lot of them really stepped up.”
The Cougars received its usual solid play from their big guns. James Nunnally led the way, scoring 21 points, while Walter Jackson finished the contest with 18.Mic’eal Thomas chipped in 10 points for a Weston Ranch squad that saw 11 different players tally points in the scorebook.Weston Ranch (2-1, 11-5) will look to continue its waltz through the VOL, when they play host to the East Union Lancers Friday at 7:15 p.m.
