Division I-A boys bracket

This is a 32-team bracket with four "Wild-Card" games which were played last night, Wednesday, Feb. 19. There was also one first round game, Yucaipa vs. Canyon Springs, which was also played last night, and with the win, Canyon Springs effectively receives a first round bye on Friday night, having already advanced to the second round.

We've got the scores and details of all the games played last night, followed by the updated bracket so you can see just where each team will be playing in the first round on Friday. Here are the Wild Card game scores and details:

Thousand Oaks 59, Hueneme 50--Kain Lindgren scored 14 points and Tyler Carr added 12 points to lead visiting Thousand Oaks (13-14).

Temescal Canyon 90, Corona 88 (2OT)--Dylan Petty banked a 3-pointer off the glass to beat the buzzer Wednesday night, giving the Titans' (17-12) a 90-88 double-overtime victory over Corona to advance to the first round on Friday. Petty's shot was the only 3-pointer of the game for Temescal and came on a broken play after Corona's Kevin Morrow missed two free throws with four seconds left that could have put the game away for the Panthers. Petty was the intended receiver on a long inbound pass that was tipped by a Corona player, but he came up with the loose ball around midcourt and hit the off-balance shot for the win. Petty scored eight of his 13 points in overtime, and Channing Corral scored six of his nine in overtime. Garrett True also scored six, all in the first overtime. Nigel Kelly had 10 points in the fourth, to finish with 20 points and 14 rebounds. Michael Larsen led the Panthers with 26 points, including 11 after the end of the third quarter, and Chris Almasy added 23.

Canyon 68, Hoover 67-- Despite trailing 39-38 at the half, Canyon opened the second half with a 13-4 run, and was kept in it by the scoring of Josh Shirley, who scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half, which made up for the scoring of Nate Longshore, who had 14 of his 20 in the first half. Hoover closed to within 68-65 with 23 seconds to play after trailing by as many as 8 points in the second half. Hoover had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but a 30-footer by Armen Baghdasarian bounced off the back of the rim. Hoover was led by center Hagop Mankikian with 20 points. Canyon (16-10) will play at Glendora, the No. 2 seed.
