North Hollywood 51, Locke 50--North Hollywood rallied from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to pull out a one-point victory in a City Section 4-A first round game.

Samantha Fargeon scored with 12 seconds left for the Huskies, who played most of the fourth quarter without All-City guard Anna Celaya.
