Girls Basketball:
For the second consecutive year, Bonita, Claremont and Glendora will share the Palomares League championship.
The Bearcats, Wolfpack and Tartans all held serve on their home court against the other.
In Wednesday’s showdown at BHS, it was Bonita that outlasted Glendora, 56-51, to force the three-way title.
This game was so close that three of the four quarters were decided by one point or less (tied).
Naomi Acuna had a huge night in her final regular season game.
Acuna scored a game-high 22 points, including 14 in the second half.
Serenity Henderson had 12 points before fouling out, including three 3’s.
Brooke Van Duyne hit three crucial 3-pointers in clutch time, and the sophomore finished with nine points.

Claremont held up their end of the bargain with a 52-11 beatdown over their visitors from Ayala.
Bonita has now either won or shared the league title since the 2018-19 season.
Brinna Gomez and Reagan Herrmann had 14 points apiece to pace the Glendora offense.
GHS’ all-time leading scorer, Rylie Anderson, added 13 points in her final regular season game for Adam Nunemaker.
Up next: The Bearcats and Tartans will get their first-round playoff opponent on Sunday afternoon at 12:30.
