Southwest"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Long Beach City College men’s basketball sophomore Brandon Cerda would score the game clinching free throw on sophomore night to help give the Vikings a 85-79 victory over LA Southwest on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cerda, the only sophomore on the men\u2019s team was honored before the game with balloons and a framed jersey as this would also be his last home before regionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels good. The last two years I have been really fine. A lot of good memories, so it’s good to end it that way,\u201d Cerda said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vikings would take the first half with a score of 47-40, but LA Southwest would take the second half 39-38.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team’s offense had 13 offensive rebounds, and 17 assists during the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cerda scored a total of 19 points and made all nine of his free throws for the vikings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeen a stand out player for us the whole year  [Cerda], being categories in all the conference. He\u2019s top ten in scoring in the state and he\u2019s been our leader. He\u2019s been our only sophomore on the team and we got a lot of young freshmen guys and he’s been our leader and just happy to have him,\u201d head coach Barry Barnes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of Cerda\u2019s teammate\u2019s would also have a high scoring night with both freshman guards Franklin Chambers and Kane Young scoring 25 and 19 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately the Vikings would extend their win streak to two games, their home record to 4-4 and their overall record to 11-16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The men\u2019s team lost against Cerritos in the following game on Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCerritos beat us by 26 last time, so now we gotta go over to Cerritos and try to go get this win and we want to finish strong,\u201d Barnes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vikings played their last game before regionals against Cerritos on Friday and lost but now will look to compete in Regionals which begin in March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
