Bishop Montgomery stays alive in the Open Division chase with the win over Sierra Canyon
TORRANCE — There was a buzz in the building an hour before the Bishop Montgomery and Sierra Canyon boys basketball teams tipped off Tuesday’s second-round CIF Southern Section Open Division contest.
Jones made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 3.9 seconds left, pointing directly at the NBA’s all-time scoring leader after the shot, to lift the fourth-seeded Knights over the eighth-seeded Trailblazers, 51-49. “Every possession was so critical,” Knights coach Doug Mitchell said of a final quarter that was tied 36-36 to start and knotted on five other occasions. “It’s just one of those games where you keep trying to figure out a way to make a play.”Sierra Canyon senior Ashton Hardaway, who spent his first two years at Bishop Montgomery before briefly moving to Texas and returning, delivered his own big 3-pointer to put the Trailblazers up 49-48 with 11.5 seconds to play.
“At the end of the first quarter I missed a shot just like that one coming off a down-screen,” said Jones, who scored all seven of his points after halftime. “At the end, I said this is the exact same shot. I just shot it and it was just cash.”
