Tech sweeps Oakland Section finals as boys grind out win over Oakland High, girls dominate AIMS
OAKLAND – Omar Staples Jr. is used to playing through contact.
Staples rammed through the baseline defender and finished the layup with 50 seconds left in the game, giving Tech a five-point lead.The game ended in the most fitting way: with the ball loose on the floor and both teams diving after it as time expired. Tech claimed the Oakland Section boys basketball championship with a gritty 53-50 victory.
For Oakland High, it was yet another bitter one-possession loss to its rival. Tech won the first matchup at home 81-79 as Marshawn Lynch and other legends were in attendance. Then Ahmaree Muhammad sank the game-winner at Oakland High to seal a 61-59 Tech victory on Feb. 8.“They’re physically tougher than us, and that’s it,” Watkins said. “In all three games, we’ve been bullied.”
Under those conditions, Muhammad’s ability to self-create from the perimeter with stepbacks and fadeaways saved the day for Tech on multiple occasions.
