The Tartans have a home game against Citrus Valley on Friday. The Blackhawks defeated Knight High School 49-42.
“It was a tough achievement and I’m proud of the way our kids played tonight,” said Glendora coach Gordon Hamlow. “This was our first real road trip of the year so it was nice to have a great pre-game meal and connect with the players. That was something we couldn’t do because of the pandemic. “
Senior Guard Austin Clark had a big night for the tartans when he was ahead by 23 points and took six rebounds. “Austin played a tough physical game for us,” said Hamlow. “He made a significant contribution to the victory.”
Junior Noah Smith added 17 points and newcomer Luke Jacobsen contributed seven points and 11 rebounds. Ayden Green was also able to prevail in extra time with two key baskets and two successful free-throw attempts.
“It will be nice to have a home game on Friday,” said Hamlow. “We won’t have to fight this Friday afternoon traffic.”

The second quarter resulted in the Eagles’ demise when Pasadena Poly beat South El Monte 22-6. Kareem Amwar led the team with 10 rebounds.
