"Harvard-Westlake improved to 2-0 in league with a 67-56 home victory over Crespi, which played without its injured standout, Peyton White. The Celts hung tough for a half, trailing 33-22 at halftime and getting as close as 33-25. Harvard-Westlake went on a 17-3 surge in the third quarter behind Nikolas Khamenia to open a 26-point cushion, showing the strength of their lineup. Khamenia scored 10 of his 19 points during that critical stretch, demonstrating his ability to take over matches."
"Khamenia, the 6-foot-9 Duke-bound senior who's expected to be a McDonald's All-American, is the most unselfish player on the floor. If his team needs him to be a facilitator, he'll do it. If his team needs him to score, he'll do it. Such adaptability in his game sets up an intriguing matchup next week against Notre Dame and junior star Tyran Stokes. 'I'm going to take what the defense gives me,' he said. 'When I get my teammates going, it's easier to score.'"
