Kiddman, I saw a picture of you sleeping at Golden 1 a couple hours ago.

 

[LoganHomer]

I remember when the cif seedings first came out, tried to look for the dream match up aka all the teams without much size. We end up with the 6'10 phenom in the middle... sigh

Don't see how we win this one, but I'll let myself be delusional for another hour or two before the heartbreak.

High school basketball, it can be done

 

[H.E.A.T.]

Gearing up for D1 Final all of about 200 fans here . Sad

 

[ayalar09]

Height matters in basketball....ask Mt Shasta and University about that one.

Chino Hills is kinda like the Patriots of high school basketball. They make the state final so often that fans probably didn’t travel this time around.

Surprised Logan doesn’t have more fans with the Golden 1 being about an hour and a half-two hour drive max.

 

[Streak One]

Logan leads Chino Hills 9-6 with 359 left Q1

Logan being physical inside and have made both threes they have attempted

 

[kiddman32]

Traffic leaving that area on a Friday during commute probably is a factor. That 90-minute drive can become three or four hours REAL easy!

 

[Streak One]

Good news: Logan leads 17-16 end Q1

Bad news: Logan was 4-for-5 on threes. Would like to be up more than 1 after that

 

[Streak One]

Chino Hills leads 31-26 with 328 left in the half.

Okongwu has 15 points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals

 

[H.E.A.T.]

Why isn’t Chino in the open with all there success over last 5 years

 

[Streak One]

Brett Thompson, Brajhon Thompson, Malcolm Steadman and Gabe Hawkins have taken all 25 shots for Logan

Sometimes it helps state chances to lose in sections. I don't think they were in Southern Section Open last year. Were runner-ups in SS D1 this year.
