(Santa Ana) \u2013 Furious pace for thirty-two minutes ended with a final second shot by Muir\u2019s Justin Knoweles fell short to end a storied run to the finals for the Mustangs with a 47-44 loss to Flintridge Prep in the CIF Division 5AA Championship.<\/p>\n

Freshman Robert Cartwright gave the Rebels a three-point lead on a layup with 1:22 remaining to help Flintridge Prep to its first ever boys basketball Championship.<\/p>\n

Senior center Kenyatta Smith finished his Flintridge Prep career with a game-high 15 points.<\/p>\n

Both teams set a heart racing pace during the entire game that seemed to favor Muir early in the second quarter as they made a 10-0 run. The Mustangs defense also came up big allowing five field goals in the first half to take a 23-17 lead.<\/p>\n

Muir chose to defend Smith with three defenders during the game that hampered his ability to get any easy buckets during the game.<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

The turnaround for the Rebels came at the beginning of the third quarter after being down by eight points at the 7:09 mark after Knoweles scored on a jumper.<\/p>\n

Jared Nosworthy and Smith scored the next six points, with Nosworthy making an incredible drive coast to coast that cut the lead to two with 5:40 remaining.<\/p>\n

The Rebels took its first lead in the second half on another Nosworthy drive that resulted in a three-point play with 3:37 in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

Each team matched each other for the remainder of the quarter with Flintridge only able to distance itself by three-points before Jelani Mitchell scored on a bucket and one to tie the score at 34.<\/p>\n

Back and forth each team went the final eight minutes with the Mustangs battling to try and over take Flintridge Prep.<\/p>\n

Mitchell eventually put Muir up by two with 3:40 remaining in the game only.<\/p>\n

Muir never scored again.<\/p>\n

Smith answered after a rebound off Kory Hamane\u2019s shot that hit the rim nineteen seconds later.<\/p>\n

Nosworthy hit one of his two free-throws at the 2:40 mark to give the Rebels a one point lead.<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n\n\n<\/col>\n<\/col>\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
