Sufyan Elkannan lit up Cabrillo's Adobe Palace with six three pointers to lead West Valley to a big 77-54 win over the rival Seahawks Wednesday night. Elkannan started off the game with a deep three in front of the Seahawk bench and would hit three more in the half to fuel the Vikings to a 34-26 lead at the break.
Two of the best defensive teams in the Coast battled back and forth to start the second half, until back-to-back-to-back treys from Quinn Denker, Ben Baker and Denker again gave the Vikings (18-3, 6-0 Coast-South) a 52-40 lead with 11:40 to go. The West Valley defense would hold Cabrillo (11-8, 3-2) to 14 points the rest of the way, while the state's second-highest scoring offense would put up 25 of their own.
Elkannan led WVC with 22 points, while Denker and Baker finished with 16 and 10, respectively.
