San Jose 74, Rookies 59
AMIGOS HAVE NO TROUBLE WITH ROOKS
SAN JOSE --- After a close first half, the San Jose Fighting Amigos slowly but surely pulled away from the Season 53 Rookies on the way to an easy 74-59 victory.
Nobody among the newcomers could handle Hall of Fame guard Jesse Shershot of San Jose, who poured in 33 points.
The rookies suffered a dearth of scoring from beyond the arc, going 0 for 15 for the game, with most of their points coming from two sources; point guard Bellybutton Inquisition and forward Phillip Mianus.
The Fighting Amigos were far superior on defense, preventing 18 would-be rookie points, while the rooks stopped 7.
