James Baker scored 17 and led four other starters in double figures as the Calvin Christian High boys basketball team cruised to a 69-46 victory Thursday over Bloomington Christian in the Knight Time Classic at Ontario Christian High.

Thomas Donovan (13 points), Kevin Prins (12), Tom Roberts (11), Justin Tam (10), all paced the Crusaders.

Calvin Christian (4-6) jumped out to a 17-4 lead after one quarter, but Bloomington Christian cut the deficit to nine at the half. After the break, the Crusaders proceeded to shoot 17-of-26 from the field and outscore their opponent 43-24.

"It was like two different games," said Kevin Veenstra, Calvin Christian's first-year coach. "I really was happy to get the balanced scoring."

Baker scored 12 of his points in the second half on 6-of-6 shooting.
