To the right, Dallas Rutherford and Jrue Holiday joked and laughed just before the camera's flash snapped. It was a time for celebration.

The Vikings had just culminated one of the more storied seasons in regional history, breaking the area record for most points in a season (2,735) and winning 33 games (which ranks second all time behind Harvard- Westlake of Studio City's 35 wins in 1997).

"This is the best team in California, and I won't back off from that statement," Campbell Hall coach Terry Kelly said after winning his second Div. IV title in three years. "We're Campbell Hall. Winning is what we go out and do."

That was apparent from the outset Saturday. Ford opened the game with a 3-pointer, Hornbuckle followed with a short jumper, and Justin Holiday added a pair of layups to give Campbell Hall (33-1) a 9-2 lead with 3:36 remaining in the first quarter.

A layup by Michael Santos with 2:40left in the first quarter snapped a five-minute scoreless drought for Cardinal Newman (27-8), which ended up trailing 18-4 heading into the second quarter after Ford buried a jump shot in the lane.

Field goals were hard to come by for Cardinal Newman in the second quarter as well. Danny Binz finally converted a basket for Cardinal Newman with 3:35 remaining in the first half to cut the Vikings' lead to 30-12.

Even moral victories were hard to come by for Cardinal Newman. Jrue Holiday scored six of his 12 first-half points over the final two-plus minutes of the second quarter to extend Campbell Hall's lead to 43-19 at intermission.

"Coach thought the game was going to be close, but I didn't think it would be," Justin Holiday said.

In the second half, Jrue Holiday nailed a 3-pointer, Ford hit an open jumper from the perimeter and Hornbuckle added a shot from beyond the arc to give the Vikings a 53-22 advantage with 6:20 left in the third quarter.

Justin Holiday provided one of the game's more memorable highlights a minute later when Ford missed a baseline jumper and the Washington-bound senior snatched the rebound out of the air and followed with a monster two-handed dunk that elicited a thunderous thun·der·ous

2. Loud and unrestrained in a way that suggests thunder: thunderous applause.

"They were jumping over us all game," Binz said.

Justin Holiday put the exclamation point exclamation point: see punctuation.

 on the victory with another two-handed dunk to give Campbell Hall a 67-27 lead with 6:44 remaining. A running clock was implemented for the rest of the game because of a mandated CIF mercy rule A mercy rule, also well known by the slightly less polite term slaughter rule (or, less commonly, knockout rule and skunk rule), brings a sports event to an early end when one team has a very large and presumably insurmountable lead over the other team. .

"Once we got the lead, we weren't going to back down," Jrue Holiday said.

Jrue Holiday finished with 20 points, Justin Holiday and Ford added 15 each, and Hornbuckle contributed 10 points before being replaced for good by bench players Max Rose, Graham Bousley, Farmon Rahimi, Nick Bayz and Deuce Johnson with 3:58 left.

"We've played some good teams this season, but none like Campbell Hall," Cardinal Newman coach Russ Gardiner said.

 Vikings have compiled a 92-7 record, a successful stretch bettered only by onearea team, Harvard-Westlake, which finished 95-6 from 1994 to 1997.

Furthermore, the 33 victories ties Campbell Hall with Artesia of Lakewood, Mater Dei Mater Dei is Latin for "Mother of God", referring to the Virgin Mary. The term has been used to name various institutions, often Catholic, including:

 and Branson of Ross for the most wins in the state in this season.

"There's not any teams out there that can say they've done what we have," Rutherford said. "We're the state champs for a reason."
