- Share via
The City Section Open Division seedings just became a little uncertain Friday night after Cleveland knocked off City favorite Chatsworth 76-74 in overtime in a West Valley League game.
The Cavaliers were down 66-50 and scored the final 16 points in the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime. Roman Finney connected on back-to-back three-pointers to aid the comeback. Cayden Kelly scored 21 points and Kamari King had 18. Finney added 16. Cleveland also received help from a new player, 6-foot-8 Serigne Deme, a transfer from Blair who was displaced because of the Eaton fire. He suddenly gives the Cavaliers a rim protector.
Alijah Arenas scored 35 points for Chatsworth.
Said Cleveland coach Dagem Asfaw: “I had to change the game up, trapping and getting the ball out of Arenas’ hands. We created turnovers.”
