Third place: Lynwood (Calif.) 63, Pinnacle (Phoenix) 55

Championship: Gillette 61, Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) 60

All the teams were pretty even. I was surprised Campbell County beat Bishop Gorman. Their 6'4 center was the real deal. Mandan was competative but didn't shoot very well. They came out and had a 10pt lead in the first quarter every game and then from there it was down hill.
