Montgomery (4-1) kept it close for just over a quarter but a 15-0 run by the reigning North Coast Section Division 3 champion Bulls (4-0) in the second opened up a double-digit lead it never relinquished.

“That’s what you see with a CIF State-level basketball team,” said Montgomery head coach Steve Arrow. “… They’re that good and we’re just not there, and we cant get discouraged because of that.”

Will Grafe led the Vikings in scoring with 11 points, DeVries added seven, Izeyah Wright had five points with four blocks and Donovan Hawkins chipped in six points with five rebounds. Hawkins and Owen Faustino were named to the All-Tournament team.

Analy was blown out in their opening game against Branson 64-32 but bounced back on Friday with a win over North-Bakersfield to reach Saturday’s consolation game.

“I think it was a pretty decent weekend,” said Analy first-year head coach Kris Mahiri. “We knew what we were getting into with Branson. So I’m just happy we came out with two wins rather than leaving here 1-2 or 0-3. We have a lot of work to do, that’s what it comes down to. It’s a new system for these guys so thing’s aren’t coming naturally just yet, but I think by the time league starts, we’ll be all right.”
