Chino Hills-Sierra Canyon Live Scoring and Play-By-Play

Chino Hills (30-0) is averaging over 100 points per game this season and has owned the No. 1 national ranking since winning the City of Palms Classic in Florida back on Dec. 23.



The Huskies are led by senior point guard Lonzo Ball, who is averaging 25.4 points, 12.9 assists and 11.5 rebounds per game.

Sierra Canyon (27-3) comes in hungry for a signature win after disappointing losses to No. 2 Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) and No. 3 Montverde Academy (Fla.) earlier this season.

The Trailblazers are talented and balanced, with guards Remy Martin (13.8 points per game) and Devearl Ramsey (13.7) along with big man Cody Riley (12.6) pacing the scoring.

Saturday night's section final could be just Round 1 between Chino Hills and Sierra Canyon — they could meet again in the state open division playoffs.
