    Mission boys heading to state championship after 72-68 win

    Mission boys heading to state championship after 72-68 win

    Nothing was going to keep the Mission High boys basketball team from making history.

    Bears senior guard Niamey Harris scored 23 points — including the team’s last five — as Mission defeated host Vanden-Fairfield 72-68 to win the Northern California Division 3 championship.

    In doing so, the Bears (34-1) became just the fourth San Francisco public school boys team to advance to a state championship and the first since 2001.

    Vanden got as close as one point, when senior guard Darrell Staley sank his fourth three-pointer of the night to make it 67-66 with 1:13 to play.

    The Vikings then got a stop and had a chance to take the lead before a steal led to transition and Harris took a pass from Jayden Foston in the open court, converted the layup and drew the foul.
