Boys Basketball:
And then there was one.
Nine days after the 2023-24 postseason got underway, Northview is the final 210 Prep Sports program standing.
The Vikings made the 74-mile road trip to Moorpark High to battle Hillcrest Christian in the semifinal round of the CIF-SS Division 4A playoffs.
NHS trailed HCHS by three points (29-26) as the game entered the fourth quarter.
But the Vikings would go on a 26-17 run, and they defeated the Saints, 52-46, to earn a spot in next weekend’s D-4A title game.
Adrian Almarez scored 16 points to pace the NHS offense.
Almarez hit a pair of 3’s, and he scored nine of his 17 points in the decisive fourth quarter.
Nick Santillan chipped in with 14 points, including a pair of 3-pointers.
Alex Medrano had two 3-pointers of his own, and he finished with 12 points.
Mason Stueber scored a game-high 18 points for the Saints.
Carter Reid contributed 12 points in Friday’s loss.
Up next: The Vikings will face Temecula Valley and they’ll wait for CIF to decide if the game will be on Friday or Saturday.
The Golden Bears defeated Estancia, 95-79, in their semifinal round game in Costa Mesa.

Wrestling: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor It gets repetitive to say. But it doesn’t make it any less true. Of all the sports this writer has covered over the last 25 years, in my view, none has produced more quality young men and women than wrestling. It all begins with the discipline it takes to […]
