Narbonne shows off Adams brothers in win over Long Beach Jordan

Narbonne shows off Adams brothers in win over Long Beach Jordan

Marcus Adams Jr. of Narbonne was strolling along with a mere seven points and his team was trailing by seven to Long Beach Jordan in the third quarter Wednesday at Redondo Union. A timeout and look at the scoreboard was all Adams needed to respond like a bear disturbed in hibernation.

He immediately made a three-pointer and the 6-foot-7 senior finished with 23 points and 16 rebounds to help the Gauchos defeat Jordan 64-62 in a Ryse Williams tournament game. His brother Maximo, a 6-6 freshman, scored 13 points and made three threes.

“It awakened the whole team, especially me,” Marcus said of the sudden deficit.

There’s little doubt the Gauchos (1-1) will be the team to beat in City Section basketball, but they remain a work in progress. There are players hurt and one key sit-out-period player, Trey Jones, a transfer from Windward, becomes eligible late next month. They still need to develop chemistry under first-year coach Kumase Demesma.

“We’re still trying to find our identity,” Demesma said.

Once they do, there’s plenty of improvement that can be made. In Marcus Adams, there’s a whole lot of talent to build around. People have said the City Section was done producing elite players. Not true. Adams is that good. He had two dunks, made a couple of threes, dribbled at times like a guard and appears to have a lot more to offer before the season ends.

Frank Chambers scored 23 points for Jordan.

St. Paul 45, St. Monica 40: Maurice Wright scored 13 points and Kamron Fontenot added 12 points for St. Paul (5-1).

Bishop Alemany 63, El Camino Real 60: Jared Mims scored 17 points and Paris Lassiter 16 for Alemany.

Santa Monica 54, Riverside Poly 44: Joshua Hecht finished with 24 points for Santa Monica.

Village Christian 82, Palisades 60: Thomas Luczak led the way with 18 points and 11 rebounds for Village Christian.

Granada Hills 56, Holy Martyrs 32: Karma Perez had 11 points and Emma Perez contributed 14 rebounds for the Highlanders.
