Chaffey men win thriller
Lamar Williams scored 30 points and Winston Robinson added 20 with 10 rebounds as Chaffey (12-2) downed Santa 86-84 to win the Roadrunner Roundup at Rio Hondo.
Williams' seventh 3-pointer of the night tied the score at 82 with 1:30 left. He then ripped the ball loose from Santa Ana's D'Andre Denan and scored giving the Panthers an 84-82 lead.
Two free throws by Nick Turner with 22 seconds left upped the lead to 86-82. Santa Ana inbounded the ball scrambled up court to get a shot off, but an intentional foul was called on Chaffey. Denan knocked down both free throws to make the score 86-84 with 2.6 seconds in regulation.
Santa Ana received the ball back setting up the last second play to Tyler Averill, but Turner stole the ball as time expired.
All 14 Panthers contributed over the three game tournament.
