EL CAJON (1-26-12) — In a physical Central League battle, the host Christian High Patriots virtually had their collective hands raised as they edged visiting Point Loma, 51-48, on Wednesday (Jan. 25) at the Ryan Athletic Center, signifying that they had finished the first round of circuit play in first place.

But it was no time for celebration just yet as Point Loma is only one game back and Kearny is two down with six to play.

“We’re at a good place to be at 6-0 (in the Central League, with an 11-5 overall record),” said Patriots coach KELVIN STARR. “But it’s not going to be easy from here on out. Every game is going to be a challenge.”

In their latest outing it appeared that the Patriots were going to win in runaway fashion as they led the Pointers, 29-15, midway through the third quarter.
