All of them are tremendous kids, who play this game at a high level and always leave it on the court. More importantly, each one of them are great students, great teammates and great people. I am very proud to be associated with all of them. Hats off to Esperanza, they are a great team and we wish them luck in the state championship.<\/p>\n<p>I have to add that it was incredibly unfair to ask these kids to travel close to 800 miles in four road games and beat three open-class teams, and one CIF champion during these state games. That was their reward for having a great season. Whoever made this team a 13 seed obviously does not do their homework in determining teams that deserve higher seeds. For all of Pasadena&#8217;s hard work, it was rewarded with playing at 10 pm in the divisional championship and a 13 seed. The next seed had 13 wins. Doesn&#8217;t seem right. And for tonight, the reward for beating two &#8216;Open teams and a CIF champion on the road is a regional championship that is not played at a neutral site. Something is askew.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Box Score:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Pasadena<\/strong>:12-10-8-28-(58)<br \/>\n<strong>Esperanza<\/strong>:18-11-20-19-(68)<\/p>\n<p><strong>PHS scoring:<\/strong><br \/>\nBryce Hamilton 34, Darius Brown II 10, Jesse Watkins 6, Darius Mason 6, Kalongi West 2.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Esperanza&#8217;s Kezie Okpala entered his home gym Saturday night in front of a standing-room-only crowd with a 31-point per game average and a full ride scholarship to Stanford this fall.
