ANAHEIM — The JSerra boys basketball team came out running and never slowed down in an 89-47 victory over Servite in a Trinity League game Wednesday at Servite High School.
Three players finished with double doubles for the Lions (16-11, 2-2), who are ranked No. 3 in Orange County.
Ryan Doane scored a game-high 25 points with 13 rebounds, Godschoice Eboigbodin scored 18 points with 14 rebounds and Earl Bryson had 11 points and 11 assists.
“A good game from us,” JSerra coach Keith Wilkinson said. “But (Servite) is just a young group and they’ll be very good in a couple of years.”
With one league game remaining, the Lions are in a third-place tie with No. 5 Mater Dei and No. 9 Orange Lutheran.
The Lions finish the regular season against Mater Dei on Friday, and No. 10 Servite (18-9, 0-4) plays its final regular-season game against St. John Bosco on Friday.
The first round of the Trinity League tournament is Tuesday, Feb. 2, at Concordia University. The first and second-place teams get first-round byes.
“I imagine we’re going to be three or four (seed) no matter which way you slice it and dice it,” Wilkinson said. “So, it is kind of all the same. We’ve got to go play our three best basketball games on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.”
The first-, second- and third-place teams in the tournament receive the league’s three automatic spots in the CIF-SS playoffs.
“I think our strength of schedule is plenty fine, but you never want to leave something up to chance,” Wilkinson said. “That’s where the nonleague schedule is very important, and I think we’ve played the hardest nonleague schedule in the entire country, and it’s not even close.”
JSerra jumped out to 14-0 lead against the Friars and took a 20-point lead in the second quarter on a basket from Doane.
A basket from Eboigbodin gave the Lions a 61-29 lead in the third quarter. Once the lead reached 40 points late in the fourth quarter, the final minutes were played with a running clock.
“Moving forward, this was kind of just a momentum thing,” Doane said of the victory. “We lost two games, two games we actually should have won, I believe. And this is kind of a momentum thing and just setting the tone early and coming into Friday versus Mater Dei and we can beat them.”
