Dos Pueblos Edges Bishop Diego 53-50 at Jim Bashore Holiday Classic

Bryan Trejo’s heave at the buzzer didn’t connect and the Dos Pueblos High boys’ basketball team escaped with a 53-50 victory over Bishop Diego on day two of the Jim Bashore Holiday Classic at Carpinteria High.

The Chargers led 43-32 going into the fourth quarter, but Bishop Diego wouldn’t quit. The Cardinals fought their way within striking distance in the final moments to no avail.

“I felt in that fourth quarter they started to make their run at us, but our guys settled down and we ran our stuff that we were supposed to,” said Dos Pueblos coach Joe Zamora. “Granted, there were some missed shots and they made some shots coming back. They made that little run, but we talked about in the time-out how we wanted to execute and to dictate the shots that we were going to take.”
