Pilots Advance To State FINAL-EIGHT In Basketball!
Canyonville Christian Academy’s 2013-14 Pilots boys basketball team played an inspired game March 1 against the fourth-ranked Myrtle Point Bobcats to advance to the next round of the OSAA state playoffs.
The 68-67 road win came in overtime and sends to Pilots to a quarterfinal game against top-ranked Irrigon March 6 in Pendleton. The game saw the teams score 14 three-point baskets and CCA’s Serge Sandrali put up a personal best 26 points.
Here is an excerpt from Oregon Prep Sports:
A year ago, Canyonville Christian Academy, a small 90-year old boarding school for international students, played an independent schedule in boys varsity basketball. The Pilots finished 11-6 overall and 2-3 against 2A varsity competition. This year, CCA joined the 2A MVC and finished third behind defending 2A champs Oakland and Days Creek. But this year’s Cinderella story did not end Saturday. Instead, the pumpkin carriage left Myrtle Point and headed for Pendleton, following the Pilots’ 68-67 overtime road win over the Bobcats, a Pendleton team itself in 2013.
