The Renegades went down at the half by a score of 37-41, but outscored the opposition 54-42 in the second half to take this one.

Guard Tyrell Coleman earned his first triple-double of the season, scoring 23 points with 10 assists and 11 rebounds in a game where he played 38 out of 40 minutes. 

Guard Rahmel Davis contributed 23 minutes off the bench, netting 12 points and 6 boards. Forward Tony Counts was the team’s most efficient shooter, shooting 7-9 from the floor and a perfect 3-3 from the free throw line. As a team, the Renegades out-rebounded West Hills Lemoore 47 to 41, while also getting plenty of second chance points with 17 offensive rebounds.
