BOYS’ BASKETBALL PLAYOFFS / DIVISION IV-A

Orange Lutheran (24-4) vs. Santa Monica Crossroads (22-9)

9 A.M. TODAY ARROWHEAD POND

Crossroads knows all about Orange Lutheran’s Jason Whieldon and believes it has developed a plan to stop him, so the Lancers may have to look elsewhere for the bulk of their points. However, that’s OK as far as Orange Lutheran Coach Shawn Cassidy is concerned, because the Lancers can turn to 6-foot-7 center Patrick Salyer and guard Mike Bristol. Salyer has averaged 23 points and 14.5 rebounds in the playoffs. Crossroads will look to 6-9 center Isaiah Fox, who has dominated despite playing against as many as four defenders at a time. The Roadrunners will try to push the ball, while the Lancers will work for the best available shot.
