The Knights never trailed during the game and advanced to the Open Division championship game for the first time in program history.

But on Saturday night, the three delivered a thriller with a chance to play in a CIF championship on the line. Etiwanda’s Arynn Finley hit a running back shot with 10 seconds left to lift the Eagles to a 63-60 victory over Mater Dei in the final game of Open Division pool play which grants Etiwanda a berth to the Southern Section Open Division final on March 1 at the Toyota Arena.

The Eagles will seek a second straight Open Division title and third in four seasons when they meet Ontario Christian in next weekend’s championship game.

Jerzy Robinson pours in 29 points and Ashley Redd provides a spark on offense to keep the Trailblazers rolling through CIF-SS playoffs.
