Indians From B1
When Sammy Morales made a nice spinning shot to open the second-half scoring, it looked like Napa was poised to make a run. Rodriguez didn’t panic and kept the Indians at bay until they began shooting long-range shots and relying on their size advantage for second chances. A Carnazola bank shot cut the Mustangs’ lead to six with six minutes to go, and his free throw trimmed the lead further to five shortly thereafter. After a Rodriguez 3-point shot, a nice tip-in by Morales kept the Indians in touch at 35-29. Clever shots by Carnazola and Vince O’Kelley brought Napa to within five again as the quarter neared its end, but a backbreaking three at the buzzer gave Rodriguez a 43-35 lead at the three-quarter time. It was do or die time for Napa as the fourth quarter began, but it was Rodriguez that made a strong opening statement – with another killer 3-pointer for a 46- 35 lead with just seven minutes to go. Then the Indians began a comeback for the ages. Carnazola hit two important free throws chop the lead to 46- 37. A soft Morales jumper, on a DEAN RUGGIERO PHOTOS sweet feed from Hippauf, cut the Left: Napa High senior Charles Gravett (21) lays one up against Rodriguez on Friday night.
