Agoura falls short of title

Agoura had a fairy-tale season, but Inglewood had the storybook ending.

After Agoura claimed the Marmonte League title and made it to the Southern Section championship for the first time in the school’s history -- with a perfect 29-0 record -- Inglewood played the role of big, bad spoiler.

Inglewood (27-5) upset top-seeded Agoura, 64-49, in the Division 3AA girls’ basketball title game Saturday at Long Beach State.

After taking a 25-22 lead into halftime, Inglewood outscored the Chargers 13-7 in the third quarter and 26-20 in the fourth.

The Chargers closed to within four points early in the fourth, but Inglewood regained control and held on.

Hazel Ramirez led Inglewood with 19 points.

Brittany Oster had 19 points for Agoura (29-1).

Inglewood won its first Southern Section title in its second championship-game appearance. It lost to Foothill in last year’s Division 3A title game.
