"Drew Anderson made all 11 of his shots, including four of four from three-point range, and contributed 29 points, but his biggest moment was making two free throws with 7.1 seconds left to clinch a 75-71 road win over Redondo Union in the Southern California regional Open Division playoffs."
"The 6-foot-10 Anderson is finishing up a four-year journey that started when he was a junior varsity player and is ending with him being one of the best players in Southern California. He kept making threes from the corner as an assistant coach told him, 'You love these rims.'"
"Kaiden Bailey, who has been struggling with his shot, started the game by making three threes in the first quarter and finished with 19 points. There were six lead changes in the fourth quarter until a Brayden Kyman three gave the Eagles a 69-67 lead."
