It marked the school's first Division I crown since 2001, when Alika's father, the late Pete Smith, coached the Mustangs; the Smiths remain the only father-son duo to win state basketball titles. The 2013 version made history on February 23, downing then-top-seeded Maryknoll in an electrifying overtime game, 60-54.
In a span of less than three minutes, senior Joshua Ko scored 13 of his season-high 24 points. He scored his team's last nine points in the final 1:25 of regulation, including a game-tying 3-pointer with 27 seconds left, and followed with the first four points of the OT period before fouling out with 19 seconds left.
