Mesa wins on buzzer-beater

Costa Mesa High’s boys basketball team scored four points in the

final 17 seconds, including a buzzer-beating 10-foot jumper by

sophomore Tony Krikorian, to defeat Servite, 57-55, and claim third

place in the consolation bracket of the Anaheim Convention Center

tournament Saturday.

Sophomore guard Scott Knox tied the game at 55 with two of his 22

points on a layup and after a Friar threw the ball away, Mesa

regained possession with nine seconds left. Junior Jeff Waldron, who

tied his season-high of 23 points for the Mustangs (6-3), inbounded

the ball to Krikorian, who first attempted to pass before launching

the game-winner, Mesa assistant Carl Smith said. Servite fell to 6-3.

Waldron grabbed 11 rebounds while Marko Stankovic (eight points)

tallied eight to go with seven by Knox. Waldron and Knox each had

four steals.

Mesa converted 5 of 6 free throws in the fourth quarter.
