Watch: Andrea Javier and Siyanda Salter lead Fairmont Prep past West Ranch with thrilling finish

NORCO– When Fairmont Prep took on West Ranch in an exhibition game at the Hope Scholastic Showcase in October, West Ranch rolled to a 44-31 win that was never in question. But the Huskies got revenge on Saturday at the Norco Extravaganza with a 36-34 victory.
Andrea Javier hit four threes to finish with 14 points for Fairmont, and Siyanda Salter added 12 points. The Huskies trailed by five points with a couple minutes left, and had been stuck at 29 points for much of the fourth quarter in what had been a quiet defensive battle up to that point. But they finished the game on a 7-0 run in the final 1:42 to win 36-34 in dramatic fashion, consisting of a Javier-to-Salter bucket off a pick-and-roll, a cold-blooded deep three by Javier to tie the game, and a game-winning put-back by Salter with under 10 seconds left. Javier secured the win by stealing the ensuing inbound pass.
Nadia Bernard led all scorers with 16 points for West Ranch on a bevy of mid-range jumpers. Here's our highlight video from the game:
