ANAHEIM, CA – Leading by seven points, the Simi Valley Royal Highlanders were just a couple of minutes away from claiming a CIF Southern Section IIAA title in a clash with Inglewood Saturday morning in the Anaheim Convention Center Arena.
But the junior-laden Sentinels, taken the lead for good on a penetration pass from Randy Onwuasor pass to Charles Lockwood, the 6-foot-10 Lockwood converting for layup, and a free throw, with 52 seconds to go.
Inglewood hung on for a 60-57 victory when the Highlanders’ J.R. Powell missed a contested 3 with two seconds to go.
Onwuasor scored 13 points while fellow juniors Kristopher Randall and Nicholas Smiley added 15 apiece.
The Highlanders – which probably led for about 29 of the game’s 32 minutes – will join the Sentinels in the State Southern Division II Regional tournament that begins Wednesday.
The best college prospect in the game may have been wearing a Royal uniform as 6-8 junior Scott Woods had 14 points and 14 rebounds while blocking six shots.
