The Inland Insider, Tom Kiss, wraps up Damien’s win over Chino Hills

Damien wins: – A mass of shaving cream wasn’t the only thing Matt Dunn had to wipe off his face Friday night. There was probably a smile under there somewhere after the Damien boys basketball coach led his team to a 59-50 victory, the first victory at Chino Hills in the history of Damien’s program.

Northview wins: Junior Treavon Francis scored 22 points, including 18 in the second half, and senior Brian Johnson had 19 as host Northview took early control of the league race with a 66-57 victory over Nogales on Friday.
