After surrendering 25 points in the second quarter, Lathrop’s girls basketball team gave up 12 for the entire second half of a 76-43 Western Athletic Conference win Monday at Ceres.

The Spartans (10-0 WAC, 24-0 overall) shot out to a 26-6 lead before Ceres (6-4, 13-10) came charging back.

“We subbed to see if we could keep it going with a different group, and we missed a few rotations and let them get going,” Lathrop coach Dwayne Davis said. “I probably should have called a timeout and changed what we were doing earlier, but we rolled with it to halftime.”

Jaleiyah Ray sparked Lathrop and finished with 23 points, six rebounds and two steals. Breanna Wiseman added 17 points, 13 rebounds and four assists. Shakara Porter had 11 points, nine rebounds and five steals. The Spartans totaled 16 assists.

Lathrop travels to Johansen on Wednesday.
