Defense led the way for Bishop Diego’s boys basketball team in a 64-39 Frontier League win over Foothill Tech on Friday.
“For the third straight game, our defense set the tone in a big way,” said Bishop coach James Coronado. “Foothill Tech is a good team but we didn’t allow them to get going. Our guys locked in to what we were trying to do as a team, and I couldn’t have asked for a better effort, especially from Tyler Williams. We needed him to step up defensively to guard their big and he did a fantastic job of not only defending him, but keeping him off the boards.”
Kai Morphy led a balanced offense with 19 points, including four three-pointers in the third period to help break the game open. Bryan Trejo had 10 points.
“Just a great team win. Everyone’s sharing the ball, everyone’s playing for each other and we are having fun,” said Coronado.
The Cardinals improved to 2-1 in league. They have a big home game Wednesday night versus St. Bonaventure at 7 p.m.
