which outscored Costa Mesa in the third quarter, 22-7, and made 10 of 14
from the field, mostly layups off the fast break.
"We didn't get rattled when (the Mustangs) made eight threes in the
first half," said Prange, whose team outrebounded Costa Mesa, 30-20, as
the 6-foot-7 Hawkes pulled down a game-high nine boards (two offensive).
Mike Payne had six rebounds for Mesa, four in the second quarter,
while Clark added three assists, a steal and a rebound, and Conte chipped
in with two steals, two rebounds and one assist.
"(The Saxons) have a good team," Serven said. "Our guys compete and
play real hard, but they're bigger than us at every position."
