Harvard-Westlake also was cool when it counted. With a little over a minute left and the Wolverines (25-6) clinging to a 39-36 lead, Harvard-Westlake scored three points off free throws after the Monarchs List of monarchs may refer to:
The first technical came when Morningside's Shirley Dixon checked into the game wearing uniform No. 34. Dixon was written into the official scorer's book as No. 40. Monarchs coach Frank Scott argued the decision for about three minutes "Three Minutes" is the 46th episode of Lost. It is the twenty-second episode of the second season. The episode was directed by Stephen Williams, and written by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. It first aired on May 17, 2006 on ABC. . Just as Harvard-Westlake's Omelogo Udeze shot a free throw (she was fouled on the previous play), a Morningside fan threw a cup of ice onto the court. The officials slapped Morningside with another technical foul. L'Tanya Robnett then made 3 of 4 free throws for the Wolverines, who increased their lead to 42-36 with 1 minute, 10 seconds left. ``They have a rowdy crowd,'' Robnett said. ``The goal was to get in their heads.'' Taylor agreed. ``You can rattle (Morningside) a little bit,'' he said. ``They will come apart when it gets tight.'' Robnett shrugged off a poor first half (0 for 3 from the floor, two fouls) to come up with a key basket down the stretch.

Harvard-Westlake held Morningside to just five points in the first quarter and the Monarchs shot 27 percent (13-49) in the game. But the Wolverines couldn't take advantage. After they opened up a 30-23 lead with 2-1/2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Monarchs went on a 6-1 run in the slow-paced game. Udeze missed three shots from close range in that span, and Corrie Roberts also missed several layups in the fourth quarter. ``We sure didn't play the way we could have,'' Roberts said. ``We all had our low points.'' None of that mattered after the final buzzer, when the Wolverines gathered at center court to celebrate. ``They learned how to win,'' Taylor said. Now Harvard-Westlake can look ahead to the first round of the Southern California Southern California, also colloquially known as SoCal, is the southern portion of the U.S. state of California.
