Prep basketball roundup: Carter Bryant dominates with 39 points in Centennial's win over Roosevelt

From the opening seconds when Carter Bryant made a three-pointer, to the final seconds when he converted two clutch free throws to clinch victory, the 6-foot-8 senior elevated his game to a level that few achieve.

Bryant finished with 39 points and 11 rebounds to help Corona Centennial knock off rival Eastvale Roosevelt 82-78 in a standing-room only gym that also included Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd, who made the trip to watch Bryant, his future Wildcat.

“Man, all year we’ve been talking about what he is capable of,” Centennial coach Josh Giles said. “I’m so proud of what he did because of the expectations.”

Another huge contributor for the Huskies (15-7) was sophomore guard Tariq Iscandari. There was a game last month he played only four seconds before being removed. Giles told him what he needed to do to get more playing time. Iscandari made three threes and scored 20 points. Eric Freeny had 14 rebounds and contributed three assists in the second half that led to two threes and a layup.

Bryant was fouled and made both free throws. He had six threes on the night and took advantage of his size to go inside in the fourth quarter.

Mater Dei 92, Servite 49: Luke Barnett scored 19 points and Brannon Martinsen 17 for Mater Dei (18-1).

St. John Bosco 51, Santa Margarita 45: Jack Turner scored 16 points for St. John Bosco.

Becky Lynch enters exclusive WWE club with Women’s Intercontinental Championship win at WrestleMania 42

Becky Lynch entered an atmosphere no other WWE women’s superstar has ever reached as she won the Women’s Intercontinental Championship over AJ Lee on Saturday night at WrestleMania 42.

Lynch became the first person to hold the Women’s Intercontinental Championship three times after she pinned Lee. She first won the title against Lyra Valkyria in June 2025 and then again against Maxxine Dupri in November.

She dropped the belt to Lee at the Elimination Chamber, sparking a monthslong feud with her.

Lee gave Lynch the chance at the title in the weeks prior to WrestleMania 42. But it appeared Lee played right into Lynch’s plans. Despite arguing with referee Jessica Carr for most of the match, Lynch was able to tactfully tear down a rope buckle and use it to her advantage.

Lynch hit Lee with a Manhandle Slam and pinned her for the win.

It’s the second straight year Lynch will leave Las Vegas as champion. She returned to WWE at WrestleMania 41, teaming with Valkyria, to win the women’s tag titles. She will now leave Allegiant Stadium as the women’s intercontinental champion.

Lynch is now a seven-time women’s champion, three-time women’s intercontinental champion and two-time tag team champion.

Letters to Sports: Clippers were oh so close, yet so far

p]:text-cms-story-body-color-text clearfix”>

The Clippers’ season has come to an end but better than anyone expected. No consolation but a great job by head coach Tyronn Lue for guiding the Clippers from a disastrous 6-21 start and finishing with more than 40 wins.

Coach Lue led the team, overcoming major obstacles throughout the season with a player investigation, injuries, internal strife and major roster changes at the trade deadline. As usual for Clipper fans, wait till next year.

The Clippers are the NBA’s version of Stealers Wheel’s “Stuck in the Middle With You.” Yes, they have had 15 straight seasons of playing .500 or better, and owner Steve Ballmer has brought them respectability, but for their entire 56-year existence — which has contained many clowns and jokers — they still have never [attained] their goal of winning (or even reaching) the NBA Finals.

It was a rematch of their brawl at Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor event. Marshall went on the attack first, throwing in all kinds of foreign objects into the ring, including a piece of wood wrapped with barbed wire, a table, a cane, chairs and even a door was brought into the match.

Hauser was able to regain momentum in the match. He set up the barbed-wire object in the corner. Marshall countered and was trying to whip Hauser into the barbed wire. However, Hauser stopped himself. As Marshall tried to take Hauser by surprise, the movie star avoided Marshall and tossed him into the barbed wire.

Marshall was busted open, but wasn’t done. Hauser was trying to inflict more pain. He set up a table near one corner of the ring and poured thumbtacks on top of it. Marshall was able to powerbomb Hauser through the tacked table.
