Boys Basketball:
San Dimas has been waiting since February 14th to get another shot at their rival.
Back then, Bonita defeated the Saints, 59-58, in the semifinal round of the CIF-SS playoffs.
On Monday evening, the site was the same, but the result was different.
San Dimas held on for a 44-42 victory over the visiting Bearcats, and they did so in spite of missing four consecutive free-throw attempts in the final minute of the game.
The Saints went 3-for-8 from the charity stripe in the fourth period.
Logan Hodson had a game-high 13 points for San Dimas, and Ryan Quach added 12 points in the win.
Quach hit 3-of-5 free-throw attempts in the fourth quarter.
Andrew Diep chipped in with nine points for SDHS.
Colton Perez led Bonita with 11 points and Sean Shibasaki had 10 points in Monday’s loss.
Josh Kim scored nine points for the Bearcats.
San Dimas and Bonita made just two 3-pointers apiece.
BHS either tied or outscored SDHS in three of the four quarters.
But the Saints had a 16-9 run in the second period.
Up next: San Dimas will face Ontario Christian tonight (Tuesday) at 6:30 in the Glendora Tournament.
Bonita will be in Hawaii on Wednesday to battle King Kekaulike.
