21-13
Overall
9-5
Conference
The Beavers
turned in one of their best efforts of the season, but it was
not enough on the road against the Giants in the first round of
the Regional Playoffs. Nelson Ekeh tipped in a three-point
attempt by AJ Gold at the end of regulation to tie the game at
74 and send it into overtime. At the end of the first extra
period, AJ Carson sank one of two free throws to put ARC up by
two with nine second left, but Sequoias was able to break down
the ARC defense and score with 1.5 second remaining, putting the
game into a second OT. The Beavers wore down, missing key free
throws and giving up a couple of costly offensive rebounds, but
the game was not decided until the finals seconds. Darren Lee
led six players in double figures with 22 points. Ekeh finished
with 18 points and 15 rebounds while Mike Selling added 15
points and nine boards. Gold chipped in 14 points, Carson had

20-12
Overall
8-5
Conference
The Beavers
built a lead of as much as 15 points in the first half, but the
sharp-shooting Pirates would not go away. With about six
minutes left in the game, Modesto cut ARC’s lead down to two
before sophomore point guard Jared Stigall took control of the
contest. Stigall hit a three-pointer off a fast break and then
30 second later he hit another three out of transition. After a
Modesto time out, Stigall, who totaled 15 points in the game,
then picked the Pirate point guard and finished the lay up to
put the Beavers up by 10. From there, the team hit its free
throws to seal the win. Darren Lee finished with 22 points and
a season-high 10 rebounds, and Nelson Ekeh added 17 points and

19-12 Overall
7-5 Conference
Due to construction at the Panther gym, the Big 8 game was
played at Cosumnes River, but it was the Beavers who felt right
at home. The ARC defense held Sac City to under 40% shooting
for the game, and the offense put up a balanced attack as the
Beavers moved back into a tie for third place in conference and
solidified their playoff chances. AJ Gold and Jared Stigall
each totaled 17 points to lead four players in double figures.
Darren Lee finished with 16 and Nelson Ekeh added 13 points.

18-12 Overall
6-5 Conference

defense to clip the Hawks in the Big 8 contest. AJ Gold erupted
for a career-high 34 points, shooting a sizzling 13 of 20 from
the floor, including six out of seven beyond the three point
line. Jared Stigall went for 23 points, hitting five out of
seven treys, and the sophomore point guard added 12 assists and
eight steals to his game totals. Darren Lee connected on four
of his six three point attempts and finished with 14 points, and
Marcus Thompson finished in double figures with 11 points. As a
team, ARC hit 18 of 35 three pointers. Mike Selling led the

pattern from the first half of the Big 8 season, the Beavers
dropped two in a row, setting up a must-win situation in their
next game against Santa Rosa. Against the Vikings, ARC led at
the half and held on to a slim lead with 1:14 remaining, but did
not score the rest of the game. Diablo Valley pulled down two
key offensive rebounds in that stretch, and made three of six

Conference
The Beavers
finished the first half of Big 8 play with an impressive
come-from-behind road win over the Wolverines. After trailing
by as much as 17 in the first half, ARC picked up its offense to
cut Sierra’s lead to six at the half. Sierra, which hit 12
threes in the first half, cooled off in the second half. The
Beavers took their first lead of the game with 12:16 remaining,
but could not pull away from the relentless pressure from the

ARC 71, Modesto 68
16-9
Overall
4-2
Conference
The Beavers put
together an impressive first half against the Pirates en route a
20-point advantage at the intermission. ARC ran the floor and
hit open shots, leading by double digits most of the first 20
minutes. But the second half was another story. After nine
minutes of play, ARC built its largest lead, 22 points, but
Modesto’s three point shooters caught fire. Seven minutes and
six consecutive treys later, the Pirates cut the lead to two
with a 23-3 run. With just over two minutes remaining, Modesto
took a two-point lead after hitting three of four free throws
following a double technical foul against ARC. The Pirates did
not score the rest of the game. Showing great resolve, the
Beaver defense denied any open looks for Modesto while the
offense patiently executed for open, high-percentage shots.
Darren Lee poured in 30 points, hitting 6-of-7 three pointers,
and AJ Gold added 11 points.
january 22, 2008

Overall
3-2

lethargic first half, the Beavers were able to overcome the
rival Panthers in the Big 8 contest. ARC built a five-point
lead in the first half, but only put up 28 points in doing so.
The pace picked up in the second half, but ARC was able to
control the tempo by controlling the inside game. Post players
Mike Selling and Nelson Ekeh led the Beavers with 16 and 15
points, respectively, and both collected six rebounds. No other
players finished in double figures for ARC.

Overall
2-2
Conference
The Beavers
evened up their Big 8 record by beating the Hawks on the road.

five minutes. But ARC was able to take control of the tempo of
the game and build a 10-point lead at the half. AJ Gold led
four Beavers in double figures, hitting 10-of-18 shots for 22
points. Darren Lee finished with 19 points, and Mike Selling

13-9
Overall
1-2

picked up their first Big 8 win by squeaking out an overtime win
over the Bear Cubs. Leading by 14 with 5:58 left to play, ARC

margin. The Bear Cubs were able to tie up the score at 71-71
with a runner in the lane with 4.8 seconds left, completing a
23-9 run over the final six minutes. ARC took control of the

and Nelson Ekeh had 13 points and seven rebounds. The Beavers
dug a hole in Big 8 play by dropping the first two games of

12-8
Overall
0-1
Conference
The Beavers
opened Big 8 play on the road with the Mustangs, and missed free
throws and open shots kept ARC from pulling off the upset.
After trailing by as much as 10 in the first half, the Beavers
mounted a comeback in the second half and took the lead in a
game that would go back and forth the entire 20 minutes. Delta
was able to convert its scoring opportunities in the final
minutes and then hamper ARC enough to maintain a small lead. As
a team, ARC converted only 9-of-22 free throws, making it
difficult to beat a good team on the road. Darren Lee led the
team with 18 points while Nelson Ekeh chipped in 10 and Mike
Selling added 12 points and 10 rebounds.

short at the end of the contest. ARC won the first meeting
106-89, but Yuba edged the Beavers two weeks ago by tipping in a
missed free throw with 10 seconds left. ARC could not convert
multiple opportunities to tie the score in its last possession.
Darren Lee led the Beavers in scoring with 24 points, hitting
5-of-8 from beyond the arc. AJ Gold contributed 16 points, Mike
Selling added 14, and Nelson Ekeh chipped in 10 points and a

10-6
Overall

Playing for
third place for the fourth time in five tournaments this season,
the Beavers topped the Bear Cubs to earn the victory. ARC has
one second-place finish to go with the four third-place
trophies. The Beavers trailed by five at the half and got down
by nine at one point in the second half, but they chipped away
at the Santa Rosa lead and eventually took control of the tempo

throw tries in the final minute to build ARC’s lead. For the
game, Lee hit 13 of 14 free throws and finished with a game-high
21 points. Mike Selling contributed 18 points to round out his
best tournament of the year. AJ Gold had 15 points and Nelson

Yuba 59, ARC 57
9-6
Overall
0-0
Conference
Despite playing
solid defense, the Beavers let the 49ers slip past them at the
end of the game. With 14 seconds left in the game—and holding a
one-point lead they could not seal with free throws—ARC allowed
Yuba a tip in off a missed free throw to gain the two-point
advantage. The Beavers took a time out with 4.4 seconds left,
inbounded the ball underneath their own basket, and them missed
three attempts at the basket, a fitting conclusion to a poor
shooting performance as a team. AJ Gold led ARC with 17 points,
Mike Selling added 14, and Nelson Ekeh chipped in 10.
ARC 87, Feather River 73

outlasted the Corsairs in double overtime to take third place,
the third time this season ARC has finished third in a
tournament. Darren Lee hit a deep three-pointer with two
seconds left in a tie game to give ARC a three-point advantage.
After Redwoods threw away an full-court pass, ARC inbounded

connect on both free throws. Lee finished with 13 points in the
game, as did Eric Webster. Jared Stigall led the team with 18
points, Nelson Ekeh added 16 points, and Mike Selling chipped in
14.

Overall

The Giants
overcame a sluggish start and gained control of the paint in the
second half en route to the win. The Beavers, turning in its
worst shooting night of the season, staged a rally half way
through the second half to cut Sequoias’s lead to three, but the
Giants inched its lead back up to double digits. Eric Webster
had 14 points to lead four players in double figures. Nelson
Ekeh finished with 13, Mike Selling had 12, and Darren Lee

In the third
game, the Beavers came out a little flat against the Knights,
who built a lead going into the half. But at the start of the
second half, ARC began playing together at both ends of the
floor and took control of the game before ending up with a
convincing win. Jared Stigall connected on seven of nine
shots from the three point line and finished with 21 points.
Mike Selling added 18 points and AJ Gold chipped in 12.
Irvine Valley 85, ARC 65
5-4
Overall

Conference
Against the
Lasers, the Beavers could not afford anything but an outstanding
performance, and they produced that in the first half. Trailing
by just five and playing well, the Beavers lost their composure
and intensity for a few minutes, opening the door for Irvine
Valley, which built up a comfortable lead. Nelson Ekeh led the
team with 17 points and Eric Webster finished with 13 to lead
the scoring.
ARC 75, Lassen 62

Conference
The host
Beavers opened the tournament with a win over the Cougars. ARC
jumped out to a 20-point cushion at the half, but let the
Cougars back in the game with some uninspired play at the
beginning of the second half. The Beavers held off the push by
Lassen by picking up the team defense. Eric Webster led the
team with 17 points, AJ Gold added 12, and Eugene Crockett and
Nelson Ekeh each contributed 11.

surrendered a lay up off a baseline out of bounds play with 2.5
seconds left to lose to the Mustangs. ARC squandered leads of
13 in the first half and eight in the second before coming back
to take a one-point lead with 10 seconds left when Nelson Ekeh
followed a missed shot to go up 74-73. Ekeh then blocked a Los
Medanos shot, but the deflection went out of bounds under the
basket, setting up their winning bucket. Ekeh led ARC scorers
with 20 points while Eric Webster added 16, Mike Selling 15, and
AJ Gold 11.

Conference
In a rematch of
the previous week’s tournament, the Bear Cubs kept the Beavers
from finding their rhythm and controlled the tempo of the game.
Despite playing some solid defense, ARC could generate only
spurts of offense and found itself on the short end in the
second of what potentially could be six meetings with Santa
Rosa, depending on tournament play. Jared Stigall hit six
three-pointers and totaled 18 points, but no other Beaver
finished with double figures. Nelson Ekeh added eight points
and pulled down 11 rebounds.
