With UCLA Coach Ben Howland, USC Coach Tim Floyd and Washington Coach Lorenzo Romar watching under the basket, 6-8 senior forward Tyler Honeycutt of Sylmar and junior point guard Kendall Williams of Los Osos put on a show in the first half of an Adidas Super 64 bracket game Thursday at Rancho High.

Honeycutt scored 15 points and Williams had 14 points to help Pump ‘N Run Elite take a 52-35 lead over MBA Hoops Elite of Mississippi.

Honeycutt was terrific moving without the ball. Williams, who has committed to UCLA, was an effective distributor and scorer.

Another strong contributor was 6-6 Kawhi Leonard from Riverside King.

The Pump team cruised to victory and looks like a real threat to win the tournament that ends Saturday.
