Wilson’s Final Shot Lifts Cleveland Over Serra, Into Semifinal

Chaminade High had to call all over California to stock its basketball tournament with the best high school teams available.

But if it wanted a star, one that would stand out above the rest, it needed to look no farther than a few miles down the road at Cleveland. Cavalier center Trevor Wilson has been turning the 16-team tournament into a personal showcase.

Friday night at Chaminade, the 6-8 senior scored 32 points, including a game-winning 12-footer with three seconds left, to give Cleveland a 76-75 victory over Serra in the championship quarterfinals. Wilson scored 46 points in the Cavaliers’ first-round win over Calabasas.

Wilson scored 18 points in the first half, but ran cold in the third quarter, missing all five of his shots. He came on to score 14 in the fourth quarter, however, hitting 5 of 9 shots.

“In the clutch, the good shooters come through. I guess that’s what I did tonight,” Wilson said.

He finished 12 of 29 from the field and had 11 rebounds.

James Moses, a sophomore transfer from Alemany, had 17 points for Serra, and teammate Keith Malone added 27.

Cleveland (4-4) will meet Oakland Bishop O’Dowd in a semifinal game tonight at 7:30.

Chatsworth 55, Chaminade 46--Chaminade bowed out of its own tournament after blowing a 26-22 halftime lead against Chatsworth.

Chaminade (7-3) increased its margin to 34-26 before the Chancellors (3-3) rallied to outscore the Eagles, 17-4, at the end of the third quarter.

The Eagles were forced to foul in the fourth period and Chatsworth pulled away by hitting 12 of 16 free throws. Neil Coffman paced the Chancellors with 16 points, while Kevin Black scored a game-high 19 for Chaminade.

Chatsworth will play Bishop Montgomery at noon today in one consolation semifinal.

Bishop Montgomery 76, Montclair Prep 64--Ramses Reynoso and James Taylor led Bishop Montgomery (5-5) with 22 points each.

Brian Moss paced the Mounties (5-3) with 20 points, while teammate Todd Bowser added 17.

Calabasas 81, Crossroads 76--Junior guard Steve Ward scored 38 points and teammate Jon Perlstein added 27 for Calabasas. The Coyotes (7-4) will meet Burbank today at 1:30 p.m. in the other consolation semifinal.
