DIVISION II

San Pasqual 69, Mission Bay 45--San Pasqual won despite playing without Erik Meek, the second-leading scorer in the county, and having its No. 2 scorer play just 14 minutes because of foul trouble.

Meek sprained his ankle Friday against Ramona and won’t know until today if he will be able to play Friday against Crawford in the quarterfinals.

Grossmont missed the second end of a one-and-one to send the game into overtime.

Marc Carter led the Colts (18-8) with 34 points and 23 rebounds. Grossmont was led by Kevin Simon’s 34 points. Grossmont ended the season with a 13-10 mark.
