Cañada College is ranked No. 21 in this week's California Community College Men's Basketball Coaches Association (CCCMBCA) state poll after the Colts knocked off previously No. 19-ranked Ohlone College by a final score of 84-81 on Friday night in Fremont.
The Colts actually moved down a spot in the poll after splitting its two Coast Conference North Division games last week. On Wednesday, Cañada fell to No. 1 City College of San Francisco in its Coast North opener.
But the Colts were able to bounce back from the tough loss at home with an impressive come-from-behind win at Ohlone. Cañada trailed 52-35 at halftime before outscoring the Renegades 49-29 over the final 20 minutes to pull out the victory.
It took a complete team effort as six of the seven Colts that saw action in the contest scored in double figures.
Jake Skaggs led the way by posting a double-double with 16 points and 15 rebounds. Justin Moore provided a spark off the bench with 16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals.
Also for the Colts, Darius Jackson and Brylan Lundy both scored 14 points each while Josiah Morris added 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. And Logan Baltazar got in on the action with 11 points.
Cañada moved to 1-1 in a very stacked Coast Conference North Division and heads into the new week with an 11-4 overall record. The Colts are back in action on Wednesday (Jan. 15) when they travel to De Anza College for a 7 p.m. Coast North game.
