TRACY — Gyse Hulsebosch tallied a game-high 26 points, but East Union’s supporting cast also shined in key moments in a 66-53 win at Kimball.
The Lancers (1-0 Valley Oak League, 8-5 overall) erupted for 25 points in the fourth quarter to run away with the league-opening victory.  Hulsebosch scored 10 points in the final period, while Jesse Anzar and Blake Greenlee chipped in five apiece. Anzar and Greenlee finished with nine and 11 points, respectively, and DJ Sahota scored all 12 of his points in the second half.
“We hit a dryspell to open up the second half and DJ really sparked us,” Tarr said. “We had some trouble getting shots to fall, then he scored seven points in the second half of that third quarter.”
Tarr also lauded the defensive efforts of Angel Sena and Jesse Anzar. They helped clamp down on Kimball’s leading scorer, Drew Reddick, in the final two quarters. Reddick led the Jaguars (0-1, 4-9) with 23 points, but 15 of them came in the first half.
“The defensive intensity really picked up,” Tarr said. “I wanted us to hold them to 12- to 14-point quarters and we gave up 12 and 11 in the third and fourth. Because of what Jesse and Angel, we were able to slow them down.”
