Posted 3/1/14 - After beating Ontario by 19 in the first round of the CIF Div. II-A playoffs with a final score of 77-58, the Bulldogs advanced to a second round game against the Eisenhower Eagles of Rialto. That game was played at PHS on Tuesday, Feb. 25th, and PHS came away from that with a 70-60 victory, advancing to the Quarterfinals against Westlake High School. The Warriors hosted that game last night, beating PHS in overtime, 73-71 following a controversial foul call that PHS fans thought should have been a charging call against Westlake. Westlake, 24-7, has not lost a game this season on their home court. Thanks to Teri Buchanan for sharing her photos from the Eisenhower game. I’ve left them at high resolution so you can pick out the faces in the crowd, and although I compressed them somewhat, they are still large files and may take a few seconds longer than usual to load.
