CHATSWORTH, Calif. — Sierra Canyon and Harvard-Westlake met in Chatsworth for the CIF State SoCal Championship, bringing one of Southern California’s biggest high school basketball matchups back to the playoff stage.
Maximo Adams scores 26 points to lead the Trailblazers, who hold off Harvard-Westlake, 63-57, to capture the CIF Open Division Southern California championship at Toyota Arena.
The victory extends Sierra Canyon’s winning streak to 21 games and strengthens its standing among the nation’s elite. Ranked No. 6 in The Sporting News High School Boys Basketball Top 25, the Trailblazers continue to get production from a talented rotation featuring Adams, Brandon McCoy Jr., Brannon Martinsen, DeLan Grants, JJ Sati-Grier and rising sophomore Jordan Mize.
The championship matchup serves as a rematch of the teams’ Jan. 21 Mission League meeting in Chatsworth, where Sierra Canyon also defeated Harvard-Westlake, 55-47.
Sierra Canyon now advances to the CIF Open Division state championship game against Salesian College Prep of Richmond. Salesian earns the NorCal title after rallying from a 15-point second-half deficit to defeat Archbishop Riordan.
