Ten Looking for Repeat Performances

Six of the 12 City and Southern Section boys’ basketball finals that will be played in the next three days will feature teams trying to repeat as champions.

Westchester in the City Section and Santa Ana Mater Dei, Compton Dominguez, Bishop Montgomery, Santa Monica Crossroads and Price in the Southern Section are hoping to win consecutive titles.

Finals in three Southern Section divisions will be played tonight at the Pyramid in Long Beach. The remaining seven are Saturday at the Arrowhead Pond.

The City Invitational final is Friday at Southwest L.A. College, the City championship game Saturday at the Forum.

Here is a look at each game:

Guards Brandon Heath and Hassan Adams make the offense go. Fremont, in the final for the first time since 1996, is led by guard Kenton Paulino and forward Mark Bradford, but the Pathfinders have several players capable of big games.
