Ontario-Bosco Tech Boys Basketball Team refused to leave the idea of winning their second direct CIF-Susttern section championship. The tigers played with tenacity and cruelty in the second half after the tigers retreated against 11 points and then wanted to play and play and play something else. But the Alemani Division 3A was able to exclude Bosco Tech 86-80 in a wild and thrilling triple overtime game on Saturday night to capture the Championship.
Bosco Tech (23-9) never took an edge in the game, but was able to force three overtimes for the effort of an inspired team, led by Junior Jayden Emmy. He scored a game-hai 37 points and hit a 20-foot 3-pointer to tie the game at 70 at the end of the second overtime.

“I was just trying to help my people survive for one and four minutes so that it could try to win for the seniors,” said Army. “Unfortunately, we could not, but we (CIF state) playoffs are coming.”
This was the type of game that both teams were yet entitled to win.
“Obviously we are disappointed that we could not win, but what can you really ask in your team?” Bosco Tech Coach Michael Romeo said about the game and his team’s efforts. “There is nothing you can really ask.”
Alemani (20–15) was headed by Senior Jered Mims, who scored 25 points. He scored six points in the third overtime, including the last two free throw with four seconds to seal the game and championship.
“(Bosco Tech) won’t give up, but we just came to the end,” Mims said. “I think we wanted it more.”
Mims admitted that he was tired of the third overtime but said he kept chasing the championship. Both Mims and Elemani coach Mike Dulaini said that they have never participated in a dramatic game that required three overtimes to decide.
“It was only a fitting that it was a championship game,” Dulaini. “that was fun.”
Alemani led 28–19 in Haftime, then Bosco Tech took a 34–23 lead in the third quarter before the rallies and a 41–38 lead at the end of the period.
Bosco Tech tied the game on both 45 and 47 at the end of the fourth quarter, before Mims left the Alemani with 49–47 to 3:10. Ryan Osborne hit a trimmed for the tigers from the right, which left it in regulation with 2:20 to tie it to 49. Neither the team was able to score again in the fourth quarter. Alemani had the last chance, but the bourgeois Tshilobo lost the ball on a reverse paste just before the Tshilobo ran out.
It seems that the warrior was about to move away from Bosco Tech in the first overtime when Logan Daisi made a trimmed with 1:41, which was kept above 58–53. Ryan Osborne of Bosco Tech hit a 3 with 1:26, which was left to carry the warrior to two. Eriani then tied it with 58 seconds with 55 seconds when he hit a 12-foot jumper from Baseline.
Bosco Tech later left the ball with a shot clock with 26.5 seconds, which tried to win the game after forcing a jumping ball over the former Alemani possession, resulting in a trading of the warrior. But Ermi had a stolen ball by Mims, who attended court for a winning trimming with the end of the time. However, Osborne snatched the ball from Mims and went out of the border with just .6 seconds left.
Mims tried to loot an in-even pass for Tshilobo in front of the basket, but Erami removed it to force another overtime.
Army forced the third overtime with that Bajer-Beatting 3, when Mims hit two free throw with 4.7 seconds.
However, Alemani scored eight direct points and pulled it into the third overtime. The Paris Laster made the first bucket for the Alemani, then the darsi hit 3 with the baseline, so that the warriors could be kept above five, 75–70, with 2:55 with the left. Tshilobo scored less and Daisi hit one of two free throw to score 8–0 runs.
Mims later trimmed Alemani with 56 seconds to give 80-71 cushions. Bosco Tech, however, refused to go away. In the next 23 seconds to pull the tigers within 82–77, Irammi killed two 3s, but Daisi hit two free throw and Mims knocked two more to secure the title for Warriors.
Daisi scored 22 points and caught 13 rebounds for Alemani, while Tishilobo added 18 points and 15 boards, so that Elemoni could help us use its size to exclude Bosco Tech 57-40.
Dulaini said that he is proud of his team to win, but said that Bosco Tech has the heart of a champion.
Regarding Bosco Tech, he said, “Meditation for expansion and rebounding was away from chart.” “I appreciate them. We shaped them on a lot of positions, but they were able to reversal and get putbacks. ,
Army helped send the game to triple overtime. Osborne scored 21 points, of which seven out of seven were shots. The tadian came out of the bench to add nine.
Tigers won the Division 5AA Championship last year and almost pulled the back-to-back championship.
Romeo said that his team would be ready for the CIF state playoffs on Tuesday, even though it was a difficult loss.
“This is a terrible feeling,” he said. “But we have to finish it.”
