CIF State D-V Final:
Price Wins 68-57--(Mar. 16, 2001)

We've got to hand it to the State CIF official website guys this year.  They're reporting results from Arco Arena, and evidently they were so excited about the fact that Price won, they forgot to mention the final score.  Thank goodness for our friends at the Sacramento Bee, because they at least wrote it down:   Price 68, St. Elizabeth's 57. 

Now other than the score, we know about as much as anyone else who wasn't there, and what we do know comes from the official site, specifically this link. . and here's what you'll find there: 

Division V Boys -- Price Repeats as State Champs With Hard Fought Victory

Price of Los Angeles had all they could handle with St. Elizabeth Oakland, but took the game over in the fourth period to win its second consecutive state title. The game was tied, 30-30, at the half and and Price held a five-point margin at the end of the third quarter. Chris Alexander was the leading scorer for Price with 18 points, while Oscar Edwards pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds to along with 14 points. Khalief Washington was another big contributor with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Price's size eventually wore down a smaller St. Elizabeth team as the Knights held a decisive, 44-33, lead on the boards. St. Elizabeth, the Cinderella team of the tournament, received a monster game from Bakari Altheimer, who finished with a game-leading 28 points on a 10 of 23 effort from the floor. The Mustangs' Alejandro Nuno had nine points and nine rebounds. St. Elizabeth finished the season 23-12 and Price ended 33-3.
