The busy weekend of high school sports showcased thrilling moments in various championships. Notably, Westchester celebrated their 16th basketball title, featuring a humorous incident between players Tajh Ariza and Courtney Hutchins. In a key soccer match, a penalty led to El Camino Real winning against Birmingham. The pinnacle was a triple overtime basketball clash where Canyon bested St. Bonaventure with a last-second shot by Noah Madrigal, while Oak Park's coach Will Burr continues his legacy with a third consecutive title.
"I wasn't hurt. I was just happy," Hutchins said Saturday morning. "I flop at times during practice. I flop during games."
Said coach Dewitt Cotton: "They are just playing around. I see it every day at practice."
Ali Monfared, the 36-year-old head coach for Canyon, said, "It was the wildest game I've ever seen or been involved in. There was big shot after big shot after big shot."
When Oak Park hired Will Burr from Viewpoint three years ago as girls' basketball coach, it was like hiring Phil Jackson for the Lakers.
