RANCHO SAN DIEGO (1-14-16) – Foothills Christian took care of business Wednesday night (Jan. 13) moving to 2-0 in Coastal League play and 10-3 overall after topping Santa Fe Christian 81-47.
The Knights got their usual double-double for UCLA bound senior TJ LEAF who poured home 28-points on 12-17 shooting from the floor, including 4-5 from three point range. Leaf finished the night with 13 rebounds as the Knights significantly limited the Eagles’ shot attempts.
Sophomore JORDAN STARR also turned in a solid performance with 12-points and 10 rebounds on the night. Starr added five assists, three blocks and two steals to the mix as well.
