It was a match-up between district and conference rivals on Saturday afternoon as the Gladiators from Chabot took on the Hawks from Las Positas. Chabot came out aggressive, with an alley oop dunk to Cortez Barrett to start the game. Las Positas would not fold, however, as they battled back to tie the game at 60 in the second half. Chabot rallied back when Paris Davis drew a foul. Davis made the first and missed the second, which was rebounded by teammate Cortez Barrett who finished with a power layup making it a 3 point possession. One more stop on the defensive end led to a fast break layup by point guard Leo Smith that put Chabot back up by 5 and resulted in a timeout by Las Positas. Las Positas, a great 3 point shooting team, kept within striking distance but seemingly ran out of gas as they had a chance to come close in the final minute with open 3 point attempts that air balled or missed badly. Chabot won by 8 with a final score 86-78. In the end the district rival Chabot takes home the Championship trophy and bragging rights until the two meet again in conference play on January 8th in Hayward.
