No. 1 Lake Clifton clamps down on 'D'
The undefeated Lake Clifton boys basketball team put on a second-half offensive display that turned a close Baltimore City championship game into a rout. The Lakers shot 75 percent in the second half last night and a 27-25 halftime lead became a 69-30 win over Digital Harbor.
But it was Lake Clifton's defensive adjustments that set the tone for the big victory.
In particular, the play of reserve senior guard Jaquan Jones stood out. Jones hassled Digital Harbor's talented senior guard, George Jackson, and limited him to just three points in the second half. He scored 11 in the first half.
Defense is what Lake Clifton coach Herman Harried continually reinforces to his group and he got plenty of it. The Lakers held the Rams to one field goal and just five points in the decisive second half.
It was Jones who came off the bench to help the cause.
"He's our Mr. Call-on guy. Sometimes he doesn't even get in a game depending on the matchups. But when I call on him, he always comes through," Harried said.
