Desert Pines’ defense stepped up in the second half and its offense went on a 17-3 third-quarter run behind Trevon Abdullah-Booker to pull away for a 74-59 win over the top-seeded Chaparral in a Class 3A Southern Region semifinal at Sunrise Mountain on Thursday.
Agassi Prep’s Akeemis Williams and Rancho’s Justin Holiday went back-and-forth with contested jumpers and long 3s as each approached the 40-point mark, but the Stars got the necessary backup late to hold on for a 76-74 nonleague road win in a boys basketball game on Monday.
