Jason Crowe Jr. and Inglewood led most of the game vs. Chatsworth, but Alijah Arenas went hot
While Alijah Arenas struggled early, missing his first 11 shots from the field, Jason Crowe Jr. helped the Inglewood Sentinels build a commanding 16-point lead in the second quarter against the Chatsworth Chancellors. By halftime, Arenas had only nine points, while Crowe had already racked up 22, pushing Inglewood to a 47-33 advantage.
It was a much different story during the second half, though, as the Chancellors managed to inch closer to their opponents bit by bit, and Alijah started catching fire after a lackluster first half.
Chatsworth finally took the lead late in the fourth quarter after trailing the Sentinals 36-20 in the second quarter. However, Crowe carried his team down the stretch, reclaiming the lead and sealing a hard-fought victory.
