No. 11 Campolindo 51, Miramonte 49
All signs were pointing toward a Miramonte victory at home on Friday night against rival Campolindo. The Matadors got a three-quarters-length basket from Chase Miller as time expired to end the third quarter, a shot so jaw-dropping that the Miramonte student section, part of a boisterous standing-room-only crowd, nearly spilled onto the court in jubilee.
Then Miramonte kept the points coming, building a seven-point advantage that had Campo wobbling. But the Cougars were not done. They rallied down the stretch, taking advantage of the interior after 6-foot-5 senior Thomas Zwahlen fouled out with about three minutes to go, and went on to a dramatic victory. Campo scored the final nine points as it improved to 19-4 overall and 8-1 in the Diablo Athletic League.
Dylan Mansour had 14 points and Gavin Rendle finished with 12 points to lead Campo. Miramonte got 13 points apiece from Zwahlen and Miller. The victory kept Campo one game behind first-place Ygnacio Valley in the DAL standings with three games to go. Campo visits Ygnacio Valley on Wednesday. Miramonte is 15-8, 5-4.
