Dragons use 18-1 quarter to bury Lobos

Three players in double figures|

The Dragon hoopsters Thursday easily handled Elsie Allen, 59-37, as freshman Jay Taylor, senior Dylan Samaniego and senior Nazir Lyle all hit double figures in points.

Sonoma opened up a 10-5 margin at the end of the first quarter, but put the game away with an 18-1 second quarter.

“It was a good team win,” Dragon Coach Mike Boles said. “It’s been a great start to league so far.”

Taylor led the Dragons with 17 points, Samaniego had 15 points, Lyle had 10 points, senior Eric Bailey had six points, senior Colton Mertens had five points, sophomore Justin Cox had four points while sophomore Tyler Garrett had a pair.

“The players have responded and are understanding the importance of executing the little things to help the team as a whole,” Boles said. “They’re sacrificing individual goals for the team’s success.”

Sonoma is 9-7 overall, and 2-0 in SCL play. The Dragons host Petaluma tonight, Tuesday, and travel to Analy on Thursday.
