5-A DIVISION

Pasadena 86, Hart 68--Idris Jones scored 21 points for the Bulldogs, the top-ranked 5-A team and winners of 18 in a row, at Pasadena.

Brett Wilson led Hart (13-11) with 17 points and nine rebounds. Chad Fotheringham and Micah Ohlman added 15 points each.

“We played well tonight, but Pasadena might win the whole thing,” Hart Coach Greg Herrick said. “They just have great athletes and they took over the game.”

Four players scored in double figures for Pasadena (22-2).

4-AA DIVISION

Riverside Poly 75, Westlake 46--Westlake traveled close to five hours before reaching its second-round playoff game in Riverside, but had a rougher ride in the second half.

Riverside Poly (20-6) went on a 11-2 tear during the first three minutes of the second half after taking a 34-25 lead at halftime. Craig Marshall led Poly with 29 points, including seven three-point shots. Darren Lax added 18.

Kurt Schwan scored 14 points to lead Westlake (16-10).

4-A DIVISION

Riverside North 88, Burroughs 77--Dan Murphy scored 26 points in a losing effort for the host Indians.

Burroughs (17-7) led early in the third quarter, 48-44, after scoring the first eight points of the second half, but turnovers and missed free throws hurt the Indians down the stretch.

Aaron Butler scored a game-high 27 points for North (19-8), and Maurice Carter added 19 points.

3-A DIVISION

San Luis Obispo 56, Notre Dame 49--Brian Jones scored 24 points and Ken Hicks added 18 but Notre Dame (17-9) was eliminated from the playoffs in a game dominated by defense. San Luis Obispo (17-6) controlled the tempo and stifled Notre Dame’s firepower, limiting the Knights to 28 points through three quarters.

San Luis Obispo led, 29-20, at halftime and 36-28 after three quarters. Tim Kubinski led San Luis Obispo with 24 points and Steve McCallum added 15.

2-AA DIVISION

Whittier Christian 80, Bell-Jeff 52--Five players fouled out for host Bell-Jeff, which finished the season with three losses in its last four games.

Whittier Christian, with four players scoring in double figures, shocked Bell-Jeff, which finished second in the San Fernando Valley League. But Bell-Jeff Coach Joe Dunn was even more shocked by the officiating.

“In all my years of coaching,” Dunn said, “I’ve never had five players foul out.”

Ray Witt, Nick Sanderson, Chris Dyer and Greg Dunn--all starters--and reserve Matt Corse all fouled out in the fourth quarter for Bell-Jeff.

The Guards (20-5) were whistled for 39 fouls to Whittier Christian’s 13. The Heralds attempted 51 free throws, Bell-Jeff only 13.

“They were a good team,” Dunn said. “But 51-13? Let’s get serious. Every time I turned around they were going to the free-throw line.”

And sinking the shots, too. The Heralds (20-6) converted 20 of 28 free throws in the fourth quarter and outscored Bell-Jeff, 35-19, to pull away.

Sanderson scored 12 points to lead Bell-Jeff.

1-A DIVISION

Oakwood 69, Mammoth 62--Although Oakwood fell behind after senior Mitchell Butler went to the bench with three fouls midway through the first quarter, the Gorillas rallied from a 35-29 deficit in the second half. Butler, who had only eight points at halftime, finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Senior center Jon Mark also scored a season-high 22 points and had 12 rebounds for Oakwood (18-5).

Pasadena Poly 60, Holy Martyrs 34--Pasadena Poly (23-0) eliminated Holy Martyrs as Ryan McKee and Mike Femino shared scoring honors with 14 points apiece. Apik Minassian scored 11 points to lead Holy Martyrs (8-10).

Mission College Prep 60, Montclair Prep 59--Ennis Howard missed a shot at the buzzer as the Mounties lost in overtime at Mission College Prep.

J. T. Billingslea had 18 for Montclair Prep (18-10). Alex Sheffield topped Mission College Prep (18-3) with 20.

Ontario Christian 79, Camp Kilpatrick 66--Despite a game-high 29 points from Scott James, Camp Kilpatrick lost at Ontario Christian.

Richard VanderTuig and Mike Te Velde each scored 20 points for Ontario Christian.

SMALL SCHOOLS DIVISION

Grace Community 66, Cuyama Valley 51--Junior guard Chad Hankinson was six of eight from the field and nine of 10 from the free-throw line for 21 points as the Hawks (18-4) notched their fifth consecutive win.

Grace Community, the Westside League champion, led from the start. Brad Morang led Cuyama Valley (16-6), the Coast Valley League champion, with 14 points.
