ROUNDUP : L.A. Crenshaw Beats Carmichael Jesuit for State Championship; Lynwood Falls Short

Crenshaw won its second State Division I title in a row with an 89-79 victory over Carmichael Jesuit in front of 11,564 Saturday night at the Oakland Coliseum Arena.

Crenshaw (29-2) also defeated Jesuit in the championship game last year, 73-66.

The title was the sixth in the last 12 years for Coach Willie West, a state record.

“‘We had a tough schedule,” West said. “Much tougher than last year, and we still prevailed.”

The heroes were numerous for Crenshaw. Kristaan Johnson, a transfer from Van Nuys Montclair Prep, scored 15 of his 27 points in the first quarter and added seven rebounds. Tommie Davis, who transferred last summer from Fremont, set a Division I record with 14 assists.

Tremaine Fowlkes, a transfer from Culver City, finished with a game-high 30 points and eight rebounds. He cited added motivation with California Coach Todd Bozeman sitting courtside. Fowlkes will attend Cal in the fall.
