ANTA FE SPRINGS--San Bernardino saw their hopes of winning the CIF Southern Section boys basketball title come to an end last Friday evening. Senior center Louis Bangai scored 22 points for St. Paul, while Nate Kasongo tallied 17 en route to defeating the Cardinals 56-52 in a Division 3A semifinal matchup. San Bernardino's Matthew Bradley scored 20 points in the losing effort. Despite being eliminated, San Bernardino’s principal Antoinette Gutierrez believes the boys are still winners. “It was an exciting game, and I couldn’t be any more prouder,” Gutierrez said of the team. “They fought hard until the very end.” The Cardinals still have a shot of winning their first CIF title in 28 years. CIF officials announced San Bernardino received an at-large bid for the Division 3 state playoffs which begin week. There’s a possibility the Cardinals could face the Swordsmen again.
