The final week of the Southern Section Open Division basketball season saw significant upsets that could affect playoff standings, particularly influenced by a computer ranking system. Sherman Oaks Notre Dame's victory over Sierra Canyon was pivotal, as Tyran Stokes led the Knights with 28 points. Mira Costa's narrow win against Redondo Union, aided by Jacob De Armas's free throw, stunned the rankings. Other noteworthy performances included St. John Bosco winning the Trinity League title and Harvard-Westlake maintaining their dominance. These games culminate in a tense playoff outlook as teams await final placements.
"I was frustrated the way I played. I talked to my coach. He told me I had to be a better leader and took that in."
"This was an example how good he is, under control, good leader and impacting the game on both ends."
"The biggest upset of the night came when Mira Costa defeated Redondo Union 69-68 on a winning free throw from Jacob De Armas."
"No. 1 Harvard-Westlake cruised to a 68-50 win over Crespi in the other Mission League semifinal."
