NAPLES — High school basketball results from Monday night.

EAST LEE COUNTY BOYS 60, NAPLES 55

East Lee County took advantage of Naples turnovers to beat the Golden Eagles, 60-55, in the 4A-12 District Tournament. East Lee's Kenny Blanc had a game-high 22 points in the win. Naples' head coach Pierre Eaton cited flat play coming out of halftime as major factor in the loss.

"We just didn't put four quarters together," he said. "The third quarter we just broke down. We got bit by the turnover bug, and it ended our season."

Naples finished the season 8-16. East Lee County moves on in the tournament to play Immokalee at Naples High School on Wednesday at 5 p.m.

BARRON COLLIER BOYS 70, LELY 56

After Lely managed to keep up with Barron in the first half, the Cougars found their defense in the second to get the win in the first round of 4A-District 12 tournament play. Barron's Deion Clark led the team with 30 points and David Phillips pitched in with 19. Eddie Ryerson stood out defensively for Barron.

"I thought it was a good way to start the tournament - we came out kind of slow, but we shook off the cobwebs in the second half," Barron coach Carlos Clark said. "The first half was a struggle, but by the end of the game we played better defense and that opened things up for us."

Barron Collier will face Palmetto Ridge in the second round of the tournament on Wednesday at Naples, 7 p.m.
