Alemany pulled off the upset of the day, knocking off St. John Bosco, 78-75, in overtime. The Warriors jumped out to a 19-0 lead. Bear Henderson scored 25 points. Darien Williams had 34 points and Daniel Hamilton 27 for St. John Bosco. Alemany defeated Santa Monica, 73-58, later in the day.
Alemany and Fairfax will play at 11 a.m. Bishop Montgomery earned a semifinal spot with a 64-62 win over Windward and will play Santa Ana Mater Dei at 12:15 p.m. Mater Dei defeated Thousand Oaks, 69-50.
