In a battle of Orange County teams, Tesoro outlasted Orange Lutheran 54-35 in front of a capacity crowd at Edison High School in the CIF-SS Division 2AA Finals on Saturday night. 

 

Cannon Potter led OLu with 16 points on the night, including three triples. The Lancers led by two points at the halftime break, 25-23. However, the Titans came out hot in the second half, and their defense stymied the Lancers attack. After leading by four going to the 4th, OLu couldn't get it going in the 4th and eventually fell to the Titans.

 

Despite the loss, the Lancers had a tremendous run to the CIF-SS Finals. OLu beat Aliso Niguel, Edison, Rancho Cucamonga, and Oxnard en route to Saturday night. The boys are 20-11 overall and have played in their first CIF Final since 2012. 

 

They are not done yet, as they will take part in the CIF State Tournament that begins on Tuesday night.
