Inglewood used a big third-quarter surge to pull away and defeat Marlborough, 74-57, this morning in the Southern California Division III championship.

The Lady Sentinels outscored the Mustangs, 22-12, to increase a seven-point halftime lead to 17 points entering the fourth quarter. Senior guard Makeda Beadle had 15 points and 10 rebounds and junior guard Hazel Ramirez and senior forward Renee Golliday had 14 points apiece for Inglewood, which advanced to the state title game next week in Sacramento.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
