DIVISION III-AA
Huntington Beach Ocean View 59, Barstow 47--Although the bigger, stronger Seahawks (25-4) struggled at times with the small, yet scrappy Aztecs, Ocean View never trailed and, after blowing out to a 19-3 lead five minutes into the game, was never seriously threatened in the Southern Section Division III-AA final at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim.
Barstow (25-4) could not contain 6-foot-10 Seahawk center Kevin Hanson, who finished with 21 points and 16 rebounds. He also blocked five shots.
It was a big day for Ocean View Coach Jim Harris. His daughter, Kim, coaches the Cypress Brethren Christian girls’ team, which won the Division III-AA title with a 44-37 overtime victory over Cerritos Valley Christian.
