The shots wouldn’t go down for Bonita Vista, which converted 14 per cent of its attempts from the field in the first half to trail, 29-18, and went on to lose to Fresno Central, 52-41, in the CIF state Division II championship at the Sacramento Golden Center Saturday afternoon.
In a game in which the 3 ball most often determines who holds the trophy and who gets the second-place medal, the Barons were a stunningly inaccurate 2 for 27 from behind the three-point arc.
Trailing, 36-23, at the end of three quarters, the Barons battled back and closed to 48-41, but another couple of missed treys ended the threat and the San Diego Section’s last try for a state championship.
