DIVISION III-AA

Bishop Montgomery 80, Pomona 35--Errick Craven had 20 points and six rebounds and DeVaughn Peace added 14 points as Bishop Montgomery won its second-round game on the road. Bishop Montgomery (24-2) will face Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks Friday night at a site to be determined. Fred Washington added 13 points and six rebounds. Derrick Craven finished with 10 points.

Notre Dame 58, La Canada 47--The Knights (23-5) won their sixth consecutive game and earned a berth to the state playoffs with a 58-47 victory over La Canada in a quarterfinal game of the Southern Section Division III-AA playoffs. Cody Pearson and Michael Luderer each scored 17 points for Notre Dame (23-5), which will play top-seeded Bishop Montgomery in Friday's semifinals.
La Canada (22-7) finishes the season with a disappointing performance. Two bright spots were Robbie Neyland who scored 12 points for La Canada, making four three-pointers and Philip Swenson who had 12 points.    

Compton Centennial 75, Chaminade 74-- Centennial point guard Roscoe Biggers hit a game-winning 3-point shot at the buzzer to give his team its first lead of the game in a 75-74 win over visiting West Hills Chaminade. With the victory in the CIF-SS Division III-AA quarterfinals, Centennial (14-15) secured a berth in the Southern California Regional Finals (all four semifinalists in D-IIIAA make it to the State tournament).  After making only 1 of 10 from the field, Biggers managed to score 12 points and dish out 3 assists in the last four minutes of the game, finishing 16 points.  He also dished out 14 assists and grabbed 3 steals.  Anthony Davis, a 6-5 senior shooting guard who has signed with Long Beach State  finished with a game-high 30 points. The Eagles (19-9) opened up a 36-26 halftime lead behind 14 first-half points from Scott Borchart, but Centennial pulled within two, 66-63 after Davis converted a three point play.    But Chaminade then went on a 5-0 run, ended when Biggers scored with 1:05 remaining. Chaminade turned the ball over and then Biggers was fouled, making both free throws. Centennial's Gabriel Puritt then made a key block on Ryan Arceo's layup attmept and Jamaal Barnes then scored to cut the Chaminade lead to 71-69 with 40 seconds left. Jordan O'Gilvie was fouled and made one of two free throws for Chaminade, but Biggers then tied the game at 72-72 on a 3-pointer with 14 seconds.  O'Gilvie was fouled on a hard drive into the lane with 4.7 seconds remaining and made both free throws, and Chaminade led 74-72, but Biggers wasn't done:  He dribbled between two defenders, spun and hit the three pointer as time expired. Barnes finished with 14 points for the Apaches, while high-flying 6-6 junior Sterling Byrd provided energy with 8 points and 7 rebounds. O'Gilvie led the Eagles with 24 points, while Borchart had 20 points and 6 rebounds, despite fouling out late in the game.

San Dimas 80, Martin Luther King 70--San Dimas (25-3), which took advantage of open jump shots behind the 3-point arc, advanced to face Compton Centennial in Friday's semifinals. The victory also ensured San Dimas a trip to next month's state tournament. Martin Luther King finishes the season at 20-8.  San Dimas, 8-of-12 on 3-pointers, jumped to a 13-4 lead. Then the Saints withstood a second-quarter barrage by the Wolves and outscored Martin Luther King, 44-31, for most of the second half before winning by 10.   The Saints received a game-high 28 points and 14 rebounds from junior center Antouan Mesropian. Martin Luther King received 18 points from junior forward Leon Rosborough and 16 from junior guard Marvin Lea.  San Dimas got 14 points from Jason Greenlee and nine from Greenwade.
