Arroyo Grande led St. Joseph 43-42 after Scott Buhl made a pair of free throws with 2:37 to play. But the Knights scored five straight points over the next 2:12 to all put the Eagles away. The game was played at a pace that favored the taller Eagles. But the Knights fared reasonably well playing a slower, more deliberate style.

Hogoboom, who scored 26 in the Eagles’ first-round tournament game against Delano, had only three points on 1-for-8 shooting in the first three quarters. Buhl led Arroyo Grande with 16 points and seven rebounds — his fifth straight double-digit scoring game to start the season — while St. Joseph’s Joseph Tilley had 15 points and Stewart Kussler 13.
