Klay has gone most the game without defending Tapley. I’m thinking this is because of the Demar DeRozan fiasco from a month ago. When Santa Margarita played Compton in the CIF-SS quarterfinals, Klay picked up three fouls on DeRozan before the end of the first quarter. He sat out the entire second quarter and came back to lead SM to victory in the second half. This week, Klay told me he would be guarding Tapley. He only has one foul, so you wonder if SM coach Jerry DeBusk will make a change in the second half. Tapley’s effort has single-handedly kept Sacramento in this one.

Klay begins the half defending Tapley, but is looking very careful about it. Tapley drives in and draws a foul on Klay, his second.

SM takes its biggest lead of the game after a 3 by Klay, who came off a screen. If you give him time…

Tapley and Klay trade layups. Then they trade 3-pointers. Tapley has 28, Klay 29. This is awesome.

Some on press row have resorted to sighing when Klay and/or Tapley miss a shot. That’s how well they are playing.

Hazely makes a layup to beat the shot clock with seven seconds left.

SM 55, SH 42

End of 3Q
