Despite 30 points from Chatsworth’s Alijah Arenas, Grant captured a playoff win to advance to the City Division I semifinals.
Grant is one step closer to reaching the Division I City final for the second straight year. The Lancers will face Granada Hills, 61-59 winners over Palisades, in the semifinals next Friday.
“I think we weren’t playing to our potential in the first half. We did a better job of making a cut to the middle in their zone, we hit a couple shots and we started swarming in our press,” Grant head coach Tarek Abdelsameia said. “They decided at halftime if they wanted this to be their last game or play next Friday.”
Jaylen Jones, who had a team-high seven rebounds to go along with nine points for Grant, was the main catalyst in the crucial third quarter. With his team trailing, Jones scored in the paint and was fouled, completing the three-point play. He immediately stole the ball and found Mendez for a bucket, giving Grant and its home crowd the spark it needed.
