OK, if you’re a high school basketball fan, it doesn’t get any better than tonight’s Ocean View tournament semifinal game between Westchester (7-0) and Etiwanda (6-0) at 8:30 p.m. These two schools play the best man-to-man defense in the Southland right now. It’s going to be an absolute defensive war on the floor. Tickets cost $8.
The other big game tonight in the Ocean View tournament is a quarterfinal game at 7 p.m. between surprising Pacific Hills and Ocean View.
On Wednesday night, Etiwanda defeated Pasadena for the second time this season, 62-53, with San Francisco-bound Perris Blackwell scoring 22 points. Westchester defeated Rancho Verde, 62-39, with Jordin Mayes and Dominique O’Connor scoring 17 points each.
Leuzinger advanced to the semifinals with a 68-46 victory over Clovis West.
