"That's when Bailes decided to go into Stephen Curry mode. He made three consecutive threes to ignite a 15-0 surge that left Rolling Hills Prep helpless. The Lions pulled away for a 66-49 victory that only took 71 minutes to complete. The Lions (22-12) are a 12-loss team that's looking pretty good with no fellow Trinity League teams left in Division 1. They do have to figure out a way to contain high-scoring Jason Crowe Jr. of Inglewood in Friday's semifinals at JSerra."
""They were doubling him on everything and I told him to be a playmaker," JSerra coach Keith Wilkinson said. Said Bailes: "I was confident the ball was going to come back to me. It's a collective team effort. Lanes started opening up and I took advantage." Bailes finished with 19 points, Earl Bryson had 18 points and Godschoice Eboigbodin had 11 points and 12 rebounds."
