Boys’ basketball: Sophomore duo lead Oak Park to 3AA championship
Oak Park celebrates after winning 3AA championship.
The sophomore duo of Riley Battin and Wes Slajchert had no trouble dealing with the atmosphere of playing a championship game at Honda Center on Saturday. Battin scored 30 points and Slajchert added 18 points as Oak Park routed Bonita, 68-49, to win the 3AA title.
Coach Aaron Shaw (26-6) doesn’t just have a section title team. The Eagles could be the No. 1 seed in next week’s Division III Southern California Regionals.
They opened a 35-21 halftime lead and were never threatened.
Battin made 13 of 18 shots and added eight rebounds. Slajchert was seven of eight shooting.
Joe Quintana scored 15 points for Bonita.
