The Jaguars faced a resilient Wildcats squad in the first half only managing to lead 18-13 at the end of the first quarter before going into the locker room with a 42-34 halftime spread.

Lanky Kevin Villafranca was joined by Ralph Dinolan in sparking the Jaguars second half blitz with Villafranca?s 24 points and big 14 rebounds to go along with 5 steals and 2 blocks earning him the ?Best Player of the Game? honors from TV panelists Rico Navarro and Sandi Grumo in the game telecast at 7:00 p.m. over a resurgent IBC 13.
