Boys’ basketball: No playoffs for Villanova Prep and Santa Paula after benches cleared
Missing from the Southern Section playoffs are Villanova Prep and Santa Paula. The two schools played in an overtime game last week that saw players from both benches come onto the court near the game’s conclusion after two players got tangled up, according to Villanova Coach Jon Wyers.
Players who leave the bench must miss the next game. Santa Paula pulled its team out of consideration for a playoff spot. Villanova Prep also is not in the playoffs.
