BBK: Sexton sets up Cardinals with Bashore victory

Grant Sexton scored a season-high 24 points on Tuesday to lead Bishop Diego’s boys basketball team to a 64-47 victory over Cabrillo to close out the Jim Bashore Tournament at Carpinteria High.

Sexton made three 3-pointers on his way to his 24 points. Caleb Richey, who was the Cardinals player named to the all-tournament team, added 22. Thomas Lash scored 10 and led the Cardinals in rebounding.

“We defended pretty well today so that was good,” said Cardinals head coach Dean Prophet.

The Cardinals rebounded from a 1-point loss to Channel Islands the day before.

“They bounced back today and played better but there’s room for improvement,” Prophet said.

The Cardinals (5-4) take a week off before facing Troy in the opening game of Santa Barbara High’s Holiday Classic on December 26.
