Prep Basketball Regionals : Foothill Advances After 2 Overtimes

Archie Wright made two free throws with two seconds remaining in the second overtime to give top-seeded Foothill a 68-66 victory over El Camino of San Diego in the quarterfinals of the Division II Southern California Regional.

Foothill of Bakersfield (25-4) will next play Kennedy, the Southern Section 3-A champion, Thursday.

Lee Cobb scored 20 points and David Hill added 17 to lead El Camino (22-6), the eighth seed.

In the Division I playoffs:

Manual Arts 94, Bishop Lamat 91--Manual Arts (24-3) took the lead when Wayne Williams hit a three-point shot from the right side with 4:30 to play. That made it 80-78, and the Toilers, despite a cushion of two points most of the stretch and one point at the end, held on for the win at Cal State Dominguez Hills.

Manual Arts will next play Simi Valley, the best team in the Southern Section, Thursday at a site to be determined.

Bishop Amat (27-4, with back-to-back losses to end the season) closed to 90-88 and then 92-91 on a three-point play by Geoff Lear. But Manual Arts’ Chris Small, who scored a team-high 25 points after scoring 30 in the loss to Crenshaw in the City final last Friday, was fouled after the Toilers put the ball in play and made both free throws for the final margin.
