“We played really good defense,” Lorenzo Jarvis said. “That’s been our main focus this year is working on our defense, all summer long, getting that down. I was happy with it. We made some mental mistakes in the third quarter; we let the ball get in the middle. But overall, good effort.”
Tuttle had nine points in the first quarter to help Green Valley jump to a 27-18 lead before Macklin, who has orally committed to San Diego State for football, provided two highlights in the second quarter.
The 6-foot-5-inch Macklin intercepted a pass at midcourt and threw down a breakaway jam 30 seconds into the quarter, then finished off a baseline move with a big dunk 1:20 before halftime.
The Patriots climbed within 43-36 after a 3-pointer by Kahlil DeRouen early in the third quarter, but the Gators answered with a 21-6 run that included three 3-pointers by Jarvis.
“I like that we didn’t look at the scoreboard. We just kept playing,” Lorenzo Jarvis said. “Even when they made a couple runs, we just kept going at them. We kept playing, and that’s what we need. It’s building steps for us. Every game, we’re getting better as we go.” — Contact reporter David Schoen at dschoen@reviewjournal.com or 702-387-5203. Follow him on Twitter: @DavidSchoenLVRJ.
