Salaam and Sterling combine for 30 points in 77-70 win over colts<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Canada College Colts had four players score in double digits Friday, Nov. 14 but were no match for the San Jose City College Jags with sophomore Josue Salaam leading the way with 19 points and hitting one of his four 3-pointers with 51.4 seconds left to as the Jaguars beat Canada 77-70 at SJCC.
\nAt some points in the game the Jags had as much as an 11-point lead over the Coast-North Conference rivals. Salaam made 11 of 18 shots and said he was \u201c fortunate to hit the shot late and a few more\u201d.
\n\u201cInstead of clogging the middle I flashed out to the corner and was able to knock it down for my team,\u201dsaid Salaam, averaging 16 points per-game this season.
\nComing into Friday’s game the Colts were undefeated after four games, averaging 95 points per game coming off a huge 108-81 win, Wednesday, Nov. 12, over De Anza.
\n\u201cIt was a tough one but we were happy to get the win,\u201d said sophomore forward Maurice Joiner after the game.
\nJoiner had nine points and two assists and contributed to the pressure under the net with five of 35 team rebounds against the Colts.
\n\u201cWe pride ourselves on bringing the pressure and I think we did a great job at that tonight,\u201d Joiner said.
\nWith over seven minutes lefts in the game both Joiner and sophomore guard Chris Sterling, the Jags\u2019 leading rebounders, fouled out of the game with a 65-56 lead.
\nIt was sophomore Stevinaire Young who stepped up late for the Jags, \u201cfacilitating\u201d the offense and \u201che really stepped up as a leader,\u201d said Assistant Coach Deandre Perteete.
\n\u201cI felt at that time we were kind of lost, so it was really big for Young to step into that leadership role,\u201d said Perteete. Young helped the Jags with nine points, two steals, and five assists despite only averaging two per game.
\n\u201cHe\u2019s a pretty good player,\u201d Joiner said. \u201cHe really tried to be vocal in the game.\u201d
\nRegarding the last seven minutes of the game \u201cwe wiggled our way out of it,\u201d Young said. \u201cWe can\u2019t afford to have our two bigs (Joiner and Sterling) out late in the game. Fouling out is something we have to improve in practice.\u201d
\nPerteete said after the game that the team \u201cplayed hard, played good.\u201d
\n\u201cBut we felt that we dropped the ball at times . . . we had a lot of turnovers,\u201d Perteete said.
\nTurnovers were a big issue for the Jags, who were outscored 38-32 in the second half after outscoring the Colts 45-32 in the first. The Jags finished with 19 turnovers and average 14 turnovers per game.
\nBall handling will be one thing the Jags work on before they take the court again, Perteete said.
\n\u201cWe will come in next week, work hard, do more drills to make our handles right and most importantly make better decisions with the ball,\u201d Perteete said.
\nThe next game will be on Saturday Nov. 22 in Reedley, where the Jags (3-1) will take thier 77 points-per-game average and face Reedley College (1-3), which averages 70. Reedley lost to College of the Redwoods 87-75 on Saturday, Nov. 15. <\/p>\n
