CERRITOS — Since the opening tip, the Newport Harbor High boys' basketball team had found success in the paint. As road playoff games go, the game had yet to throw the last of its curveballs. Up double digits early in the second half, the Sailors suddenly found themselves in a fight for their lives midway through the final period. Newport Harbor boys' basketball leads at Cerritos 49-47, with the ball, with 25 seconds left. @NHHSailors @mjszabo @ReporterVince pic.twitter.com/ZgEoZ4TXLJ — Andrew Turner (@AndrewTurnerTCN) February 11, 2023 Newport Harbor withstood a furious rally by Cerritos, coming away with a 51-47 win on Friday in a CIF Southern Section Division 3A playoff game that went down to the wire.
