Chino Hills won their 46th straight game today and arguably their most impressive of the new season against Mater Dei to win the 2016 Tarkanian Classic championship! This is Chino's second straight major tournament win after they won the City of Palms Classic last year beating out Montverde along the way.
In a California playoff rematch from last season, defending national champions keep streak alive with 84-73 win.

The greatest show in high school basketball continued Tuesday night in the Entertainment Capital of the World.
No. 8 Chino Hills (Calif.) extended its win streak to 46 games with an 84-73 win over No. 3 Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) in the championship game of the Tarkanian Classic in Las Vegas.
Brothers LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball led the way for Chino Hills by combining for 46 points. Both Elizjah Scott and Onyeka Okongwu notched double-doubles.
Chino Hills (11-0) has become a bit of a foil to Gary McKnight's juggernaut at Mater Dei (11-1), also thrashing the Monarchs by 48 points in the Southern Section Open Division semifinals last February.
The Tarkanian Classic title was on the verge of slipping away from Chino Hills in two earlier games at the event. The Huskies overcame double-digit leads in the second half against Clark (Las Vegas) and Roosevelt (Eastvale, Calif.).

Las Vegas was the site Tuesday night for a championship basketball game between two unbeaten high school teams from Southern California, Chino Hills and Santa Ana Mater Dei.
It was the first meeting between the two schools since Chino Hills won by 48 points in a playoff game last season. The Monarchs were not intimidated this time, engaging in a back-and-forth, fire-away strategy with the running Huskies.
In the end, Chino Hills had too much Ball power, as in LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball. LiAngelo Ball scored 25 points and LaMelo Ball 21 as Chino Hills defeated Mater Dei, 84-73, to win the Platinum Division of the Tarkanian Classic.
Chino Hills is 11-0 and has won 46 consecutive games after going 35-0 last season. Mater Dei dropped to 11-1. LiAngelo Ball and Eli Scott of Chino Hills were named tournament co-MVPs. Scott had 19, 13 and 16 rebounds in his last three games.
Chino Hills led by as many as 10 points in the first half before leading at halftime, 36-31. Mater Dei had issues with turnovers. The Monarchs got as close as three points before Chino Hills pulled away in the second half.

Justice Sueing had a big game for Mater Dei, scoring 27 points.
Chino Hills looks like a strong contender to No. 1 ranked Chatsworth Sierra Canyon for supremacy in the Southern Section Open Division.
It’s a great start for first-year Coach Stephan Gilling, who has adopted the tactics of former coach Steve Baik with a fast-paced attack. And it shows that Chino Hills hasn’t lost much even though last year’s star, Lonzo Ball, has moved on to UCLA.

In a matchup of Southern California teams in the top 10 of the Super 25, Chino Hills downed Mater Dei (Santa Ana), 84-23, on Tuesday night to win the Platinum Division of the Tarkanian Classic in Las Vegas.
Chino Hills, the defending Super 25 champion, ran its winning streak to 46 games dating to last season.
LiAngelo Ball led Chino Hills (11-0) with 25 points, LaMelo Ball had 21. ONyeka Okongwu had 14, Phaquan Davis added 12 and Eli Scott had 10.
Justice Sueing paced the Monarchs, who lost for the first time, with 27 points and 11 rebounds, and Michael Wang had 17, including 14 in the second half.
The Huskies needed to overcome a 12-point halftime deficit in Monday’s semifinal against Roosevelt (Eastvale, Calif.), but that was not the case against Mater Dei.
Chino Hills trailed 15-14 early in the first half but went on a 10-2 run for a 24-17 edge and was not behind again.
Mater Dei, though, was not going away. But even Monarchs run was answered by the Huskies.
Chino Hills had a five-point edge at halftime as LiAngelo Ball had 18 at the break; Sueing led the Monarchs with 14.
The teams played at a frenetic pace throughout, which seemingly would work more to Chino Hills’ advantage.
The margin was six points with eight minutes left, but Chino Hills pushed it to 13 at 69-56 capped by a back-to-back threes from Davis. Mater Dei trimmed the lead to nine at about the four-minute mark, but LiAngelo Ball scored to push the lead back to double figures.
