A 23-foot, last-second three-point attempt that rimmed in and ultimately rimmed out vaulted the host Glendale High boys’ basketball team into the second round of the playoffs at the expense of Santa Fe. Chiefs guard David Castro had his game-winning three miss at the buzzer to preserve what was a 62-60 victory for the Nitros in the first round of the CIF Southern Section Division I-A playoffs.
