Aaron McBride scores just before the final buzzer to send Corona Centennial to a thrilling win over St. John Bosco for the Southern Section Open Division title.
With no proper way to summarize what just happened, no possible explanation that could convey the emotions of one of the most ridiculous endings in California high school basketball history, Corona Centennial senior Jared McCain kept it simple.
But McBride, the steady Centennial senior, was there to tip it away and chase down the loose ball. And with a second left, he took flight just inside the free-throw line.McBride slammed it at the buzzer and an arena of 12,501 fans shook, with teammate Devin Williams’ eyes bulging and vocal cords thundering.Taft captures its fourth City Section boys’ basketball championship under coach Derrick Taylor in a 64-62 victory over Fairfax.
On paper, for much of the season, Centennial’s title seemed inevitable. But beneath the surface, championship fatigue no longer was an abstract idea — it was, to Giles’ frustration, extremely real. In late January, their second-to-last regular-season game of the season, Centennial took a 26-point lead on Eastvale Roosevelt early in the second quarter — and blew it. By the fourth quarter, the Huskies were down five, eventually squeaking out a sloppy 77-71 win.
