      from the Las Positas Athletic website
For 38 minutes Friday night, LPC appeared on the verge of its second straight upset victory. Then the roof caved in.
Leading Chabot 70-61 with 2:04 remaining, the Hawks turned the ball over 3 possessions in a row and got outscored 13-1 down the stretch to lose to the Gladiators 74-71 in the annual Coaches vs. Cancer game in Livermore.
LPC fell to 10-12 overall and 2-5 in the Coast Conference North Division. Chabot, ranked #7 in the state and #4 in Northern California, improved to 20-4 overall and 6-1 in conference.
The Hawks led most of the first half and entered halftime with a 29-28 lead. It was 47-47 midway through the second half before LPC went on a 10-2 run to forge a 57-49 lead with 7:15 left.
Five minutes later, Davis Kimble scored 5 straight points to push the Hawks' advantage to 10 at 67-57 with 2:33 remaining. Kimble's two free throws at 2:04 made it 70-61 before the LPC collapse.
After the parade of LPC turnovers, Chabot pulled even at 70-70 before a Kimble foul shot gave the Hawks a 1-point lead with 44.8 seconds left. But that was the final point LPC would score. The Hawks had a chance to tie at the end, but Jacob Contreras' 3-point attempt was well short.
Kimble led LPC with 20 points, Uche Okpalaugo added 15, Contreras had 12, and Steve Cazares contributed 10.
The game was part of a Coaches vs. Cancer doubleheader, with Chabot's women defeating the Lady Hawks in the first game. Proceeds from the evening totaled $2,207, which will be donated to the Coach Costello Scholarship Fund for LPC athletes. The evening was dedicated to the memory of former Hawks' Coach Tony Costello, who passed away Aug. 25 after a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Santa Rosa 94     -     Modesto 70
 — A hot-shooting Santa Rosa team was too much for the Modesto Junior College men’s basketball team on Friday night.
The Bear Cubs buried 14 of 22 3-pointers and rolled past the Pirates 94-70 in a Big 8 Conference game.
“We really didn’t play bad,” MJC coach Paul Brogan said. “I don’t know if anybody could have beaten Santa Rosa tonight. They put on an unbelievable display.”
Both teams were coming off impressive wins earlier in the week – MJC with its defeat of Diablo Valley College and Santa Rosa with a victory over Cosumnes River.
However, it was Santa Rosa that maintained the excellence, pulling out to a 52-31 lead in the first half.
The Pirates (11-2, 4-4 Big 8) never got closer than 11.
Alec Kobre had 23 points to lead Santa Rosa (13-8., 6-2).
The Pirates were led by Edwin Castellanos, who had 16.
MJC returns to action on Tuesday at home in an important game against Sacramento City, a team they beat earlier this season.
“We’re still battling for a playoff spot and every game is a big game for us,” Brogan said. “Our league ... We think we’re going to get five teams in the playoffs.”

PITTSBURG — Troy Moses (15 points) and Stan Kaya (14) were major cogs coming off the bench for the COM men's basketball team, which rallied from 11 down to beat Los Medanos, 64-61. The Mariners (12-10, 6-5) got off to a slow start but roared back, pulling to within 33-26 at the break and surging ahead in the second half.
"We settled in, started to defend and played extremely hard," COM coach Dave Granucci said. "The guys that came off the bench gave us a huge left."
