The shootout continues in the Division III boys’ state final.

Santa Margarita ran a play for Klay Thompson and he thanked his coach by hitting a three-pointer. He then had a slam on a breakaway and hit another three-pointer, giving him 29 points in 21 minutes.

Sacramento guard Chase Tapley answered with a three-pointer of his own, giving him 28 points in 20 minutes. The state championship scoring record in Division III is 37 points by Craig McMillan of Cloverdale in 1983.

Jamie Serna was called for his third foul with just over six minutes left in the third quarter, but Sacramento missed both free throws. Despite the third foul, Santa Margarita Coach Jerry DeBusk has left Serna on the floor.
