LA- area high school holiday tournament finals on tap

Finals of the Larry Doyle Orange County Championships are 8 p.m. Wednesday at Marina High School in Huntington Beach. It will be a rematch of two teams that met last year at the Nike Extravaganza, as 10-1 Santa Margarita faces Villa Park, who are 9-3.

SM beat Sonara in one semifinal, 46-32. I thought this was a a sloppily-played game, as SM had numerout times to open a bigger lead but didn't, and Sonora had numerous times to make a 10-point defecit disappear and couldnt finish the job.

The other semifinal saw Villa Park beat San Clemente, 54-47. SC was down after three quarters, 45-28, but stormed back to trail by three points with 25 seconds left. But two times to the foul line for VP (they were in the double bonus) made it a seven-point win for VP, 54-47.

The third place game at 6:30 p.m. will be Sonora versus San Clemente. Consolation round games start at 9 a.m.
