Boys Basketball: Montclair Prep Gets Big Win

Daymond Cowlah scored 17 points and made two free throws with 13 seconds remaining to give Montclair Prep of Panorama City a big 52-48 victory against Brentwood of Los Angeles Tuesday night.

Cowlah was almost the goat missing the front end of one and one situations twice in the final 19 seconds but Montclair Prep rebonded both misses and Cowlah became hero with two made free throws.

Roland Makoge scored 12 points for Montclair Prep, which earned its 12th win of the season and moved into sole posession of third place in the Olympic league behind Campbell Hall and Windward.

Brentwood, which beat the Mounties by 27 points nearly a month ago, got off to a hot start behind three 3-pointers from Adam Carneol for a 9-0 lead.

Montclair Prep came right back with a 13-2 run to end the first quarter. The game was tied at halftime and after three quarters.

The Mounties trailed 47-44 after a Peter McMillan 3-point play with 2:30 remaining but Cowlah scored on two lay-ups and freshman Jake Boger made a rebound putback for another basket giving the Mounties a three point lead.
