Griffins make it 4-in-a-row

(1/30) The Griffins won their fourth straight tonight, downing host Mesa College 67-59. Coach Doug Weber noted the victory as "A great team team effort, as we had three starters miss time during the week with flu symptoms. Our reserves did a great job holding a lead going in to halftime."

Griffins turn the Paige

EL CAJON (1-27-08) -- On a night when the standout shooters from both teams found defenders in their face in the second half, Grossmont College forward TYRONE PAIGE (right) was one of the few to fill in the voids, leading to a Griffins victory.

Paige scored nine of his 15 points in the second half to expand a 1-point halftime lead, while guard KEVIN WOODRUFF collected a team-high 22 points, leading Grossmont past visiting Miramar, 80-71.

The victory snapped the incredible 5-way logjam for second place in the Pacific Coast Conference, leaving the Griffins and MiraCosta as the leaders of the pack behind Imperial Valley, the runaway PCC leaders.

Grossmont's three top shooters combined to hit just 7-of-28 shots from the floor, while forward EMERY MITCHELL didn't release a single field goal attempt in the first half. Still, the Griffins held a 33-32 halftime lead. Read More

SAN MARCOS (1-22-08) -- Grossmont College basketball players EMERY MITCHELL and AARON TINSLEY were honored among the Pacific Coast Conference athletes of the week, leading the Griffins to a pair of victories.

Mitchell shared the weekly award with Southwestern's Rondu Stevens, while Tinsley, a PCC honoree in November, was listed among the honorable mention.

Mitchell, a 6-foot-7 sophomore forward from Steele Canyon High School , made 8-of-11 field goals, hauled down 11 rebounds and had eight blocks in Grossmont's 70-68 victory over MiraCosta and 90-65 win over San Diego City College.

Tinsley, a 6-2 sophomore guard from Helix High School , scored 59 points in two contests with torris shooting numbers: 15-for-24 on field goals, 8-for-10 on 3-pointers, and 21-for 24 on free throws, along with six rebounds, four assists and four steals.

EL CAJON (1-20-08) -- Grossmont College guard AARON TINSLEY shined with one of the best shooting performances in school-history, torching visiting San Diego City College for a career-best 38 points in the Griffins' 90-65 triumph over the Knights.

Tinsley drained 10-of-13 shots from the floor, including six straight from beyond the arc, in jump-starting Grossmont to a 20-point, first-half lead. Read More

EL CAJON (1-13-08) -- Facing several physical mismatches, Grossmont College did everything it needed to accomplish defensively to stay in contact with Pacific Coast Conference-leading Imperial Valley College.

The Griffins forced 25 turnovers and kept Arabs shooters off-balance all night, including IVC scoring leader Brandon Dowdy, who only scored 14 points on 5-for-15 accuracy from the floor.

However, the deeper Imperial Valley bench kept the team's lead between 8-to-12 points throughout most of the contest in handing the Griffins a 59-50 setback.
