``We just came out and did what we had to do and stayed calm,'' said junior Jannel Buckley, who scored 15 points, including two key free throws with 63 seconds remaining.

Oak Park succeeded with balanced scoring and clutch free throws. Kim Bryan, Michelle Bregar and Holly Stewart each scored 13 points, and the Eagles converted 6 of 8 free throws in the final minute.

 this week. The Pirates used the same five players for 30 of the game's 32 minutes. Nevertheless, the score was tied 39-39 after three quarters, but the fourth quarter was Oak Park's. The Eagles went on a 6-0 run to start the final period, and the Pirates never got closer than three.

Senior Karena Bonds, cousin of major-league baseball star Barry Bonds Barry Lamar Bonds (born July 24 1964 in Riverside, California) is a left fielder for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball. He is the son of former major league All-Star Bobby Bonds, the godson of Hall of Famer Willie Mays, and a distant cousin of Hall of Famer Reggie , scored 21 points for Morro Bay.

``They outexecuted us and did a good job,'' Bonds said. ``With just five players, it's very difficult. But our team has overcome a lot over the whole season and I'm proud. Oak Park's just a great team. They played excellent.''

Melisa Brookley added 14 points for Morro Bay. But she scored just two over the last 15 minutes after Oak Park coach Lindsay Strothers implored Buckley to deny Brookley the ball.

``I think we played pretty well. It just took a while for us to get going,'' said Bryan, whose fourth 3-pointer of the game gave Oak Park a six-point lead with 1:45 left. ``We were down a little bit in the beginning and we weren't playing our game. I didn't realize how much time was left on the clock when I made that last 3-pointer. I just shot it.''

Bryan had six 3-pointers that day, so Morro Bay was keen to watch out for her. But, again, balance was the key for the Eagles. They had more threats and crisp teamwork, and their talent wore down the Pirates.

``When it was tied starting the fourth quarter, the main thing I wanted us to do was contain Bonds,'' coach Strothers said. ``Everybody started playing better defense instead of letting them get easy looks. At halftime, the girls were yelling at each other because they weren't playing good enough defense. And it was true.

``I didn't expect an easy game because I knew the tradition of Morro Bay.''

Oak Park appeared on its way to easy victory after taking a 13-7 lead. But Morro Bay, sparked by Bonds' three consecutive driving baskets, went on a 16-5 run to take a 23-18 advantage, and the Eagles needed to regroup re·group

Before the game, Morro Bay coach Cary Nerelli said he wanted to control the tempo and slow things down. The Pirates did. What Nerelli didn't account for was Morro Bay losing gas at the end. Bonds' two turnovers was part of Oak Park's 6-0 run to start the fourth quarter, and the Pirates missed 5 of 7 shots and committed five fouls in the last two minutes.
