Valley Basketball : Notre Dame Caught by Loyola Rally

Bryan Jamison of Loyola High scored with 10 seconds left to lead the Cubs to a come-from-behind, 60-58, victory over Notre Dame in a nonleague game Monday at Notre Dame.

The Knights (5-1), who lost to Loyola, 81-64, in the finals of the Loyola tournament Saturday night, were unable to protect a 58-53 lead with 1:30 remaining.

Brian Jones (31 points) and Pico Sandoval missed the front ends of 1-and-1 free-throw opportunities down the stretch for Notre Dame and Sandoval’s 3-point attempt at the buzzer went in and out.

“We had them right where we wanted them,” Notre Dame Coach Mick Cady said. “But we just didn’t put them away when we had the chance.”
