Christopher’s defense clamps down in second half to ensure high-scoring win over Branham

SAN JOSE — Christopher didn’t have a whole lot of trouble scoring on Thursday night at Branham High School.

The Cougars did have a bit tougher of a time preventing host Branham from doing the same. The two teams combined for 56 points in the first half, and the score was tied at the halftime break.

But in the second half, only one team did the scoring. That team was Christopher, and 17 unanswered points ensured the Cougars won their Blossom Valley Athletic League Mt. Hamilton Division opener by a final score of 45-28.
