. Just another day at the office for the Chatsworth girls basketball team.

The third-seeded Chancellors had too much depth, talent and experience for No. 6 Sylmar and cruised to an easy 55-40 victory Wednesday night in a City Section Championship bracket In programming, brackets (the [ and ] characters) are used to enclose numbers and subscripts.

The Chancellors (21-7), who had three players score in double figures, will play No. 2 Westchester in a semifinal Saturday at L.A. Southwest College.

Chatsworth earned a high seeding for the third consecutive season because it played a tough nonleague schedule and rolled through the West Valley League. It has talent and experience on its side - the entire starting lineup For the line of action figures, see .

As has been their custom, the starters - Sun, Linnae Barber, Ashley Shelton, Britney Hamilton and Summer Johnson - average between seven and 12 points per game. Other than Hamilton, everyone else was near that range.

``We deserve it,'' Sun said. ``We've got great potential, great talent. We're finally putting it together. The first three quarters, the first half especially, we finally showed everybody what we can do.''

The Chancellors were especially effective for three quarters, making big runs to increase the lead. A 9-2 run in the first period resulted in a 17-10 lead. Scoring the last eight points of the second period meant a 35-17 halftime lead. And a 15-3 run to start the third period gave the Chancellors their biggest lead, 50-20, with 2:40 left in the third.

Barber, usually the main rebounder, scored a game-high 14 points. Sun and Johnson added 10 points apiece a·piece

, with Sun also getting six assists. Alicia Bryant scored eight points and took eight rebounds in a reserve role.

Sylmar started two freshmen and two sophomores, and it showed. The Spartans' potential under coach Michelle Chevalier also showed, especially in the fourth period during a 13-2 run.

All the more impressive was leading scorer Mariama Wrightster wasn't involved in that run. She had fouled out with 5:33 to play, 21 seconds before the run began. Wrightster's 12 points was the only double-figure scoring for Sylmar. Lila Stucki scored all eight of her points in the fourth period.

``We certainly showed our youth,'' Chevalier said. ``They were overanxious o·ver·anx·ious

. They wanted this one. They knew they were playing for more than (a trip to) Southwest College. They were playing for respect we didn't get this year, from you guys or other teams. Twenty and three deserves respect. We'll get it next year.''

``The girls played very well to the end,'' Grant coach Michael Flot said. ``Expectations were met this year, more so than I thought they would be. We came together as a team this season when no one thought we would do anything. And as a coach, I was very satisfied and pleased.''
