A.V.

"It's kind of an interesting situation," Eagles coach Frank Lawton said. "It doesn't really bother us. As coaches, we never mention it in front of the kids.

Lit.: Poems of Coleridge in Magill IV, 756] . But as the No. 2 seed, we may go through the whole thing with one home game." Antelope Valley Christian's home-court advantage in their first-round game against First Lutheran didn't turn out to be much of an edge. The Eagles struggled, but managed to come away with a 72-62 win - their slimmest margin of victory all season. "I think that the first game we played in the CIF (1) (Common Intermediate Format) A standard video format used in videoconferencing. CIF formats are defined by their resolution, and standards both above and below the original resolution have been established. The original CIF is also known as Full CIF (FCIF). playoffs was the worst game we played all year," Lawton said. "We didn't play our game. That was a test for us, mentally a test." The Eagles fared better against Riverside Christian on Wednesday in a second-round game winning 92-53, despite an off-night by standout scorer Johnny Morales. Morales, who had tied a career high with 36 points against First Lutheran, scored just 16 points Wednesday night. "Johnny is our everything," Lawton said. "He was having a difficult time shooting. I told our two junior guards they have to step up and they took over the game. I felt so proud of them." In the second quarter during Antelope Valley Christian's 30-point scoring burst, Aaron Nurse, a 5-foot-10-inch guard, and Tim Markin, a 6-1 guard, connected on seven consecutive 3-point baskets. Nurse finished with 23 points, while Markin added 16 for the game. Lawton is concerned about Heritage Christian's height advantage, but feels that his team's overall depth, speed and quickness can counter it. "They've got good size and quite a few seniors," Lawton said. "If we play our game, run the floor, we'll see how they hang with us. Everybody's pretty confident. I hope we have a good game with some of our perimeter The boundary of a system or network, which defines the inside and outside. It is typically determined by firewalls and addresses.
