The San Diego City College men's basketball team entered the playoffs with number 1 in the state, while his crime scored an average of 75 points per game.

But after his offensive was shot and his defense of Cerrito's' consistent attack, the knights fell in the 75-65 in the 3C2A Playoff -Matchup On Saturday, March 1st, in Harry West Gym.

No. 6 -seed knights never led against No. 11 Cerritos, the star appearance of Guard Darron Henry and striker Spencer Ezewiro.

The 5-foot 9-Henry used its speed and ability to achieve a hard shot, 24 points and 5 templates.

Ezewiro has done its damage in color and ramps numerous dunks. He ended with 21 points and 10 rebounds.

The knight's offensive fought out of the goal and scored only 17 points in the first half that City College head coach Mitch Charlens described in an interview after the game.

“Cerritos brought great energy and they close us from what we wanted to do early,” said Charlens. “And we couldn't protect them. They became dynamics and comfortably early, and we were on our heels. “

City made a thrust in the second half, which was run by the second security guard Logan Huston, and joined the 20-point lead of the Falcons to 8. But the falcons suppressed the rally, and the city could never get closer in the second half.

The PCAC player of the year, Huston, who ended with 22 points in the first half, spoke only 1 point in the second half.

“I was obviously frustrated at half -time,” said Huston. “I am a captain of this team, a leader of this team, and my team needed me to do more that was so easy.”

Huston spent three seasons in the city and ended his time as the captain of the knights. He passed a student at his second year after suffering an injury that required ankle surgery.

After rejecting the options to play at other schools, he returned to City for the last season and received the PCAC Player of the Year Award while led the team in points, assists, steals and blocks.

Huston said he received several scholarship offers and will have options for his future.

“We will miss (Huston's) presence and his leadership, but his career will continue,” said Charlens.

Despite a conference championship and an overall successful season, Huston colored no words when he spoke about how he felt after the loss.

“We have the feeling that we are better than the other team, and we just didn't get out of here, play and show it and it is shit,” said Huston.

The knights will lose 6 players who have received all PCAC awards.

PCAC trainer of the year, Charlens, thought about how he felt about her time together.

“We are all only soiled that our time together is over because you never get it back,” he said.

Despite the sudden end of the season, Charlens praised his team's commitment to success.

“You sacrificed and did everything we asked,” said Charlens. “You were incredible.”
