SOUTHERN SECTION BOYS' BASKETBALL ROUNDUP: BIG WIN GETS HART INTO SEMIFINALS.Byline: Daily News Eager to remove its stigma as a playoff bust, the Hart High of Newhall boys' basketball team has advanced to the Southern Section Div. I-A quarterfinals for the first time since 1984 after defeating visiting Riverside Poly 73-52 on Tuesday. Hart (25-3), which has never won a basketball championship, plays at Simi Valley Simi Valley (sē`mē, sĭm`ē), city (1990 pop. 100,217), Ventura co., SW Calif. in an oil, fruit, and farm region; laid out 1887, inc. 1969.

But Riverside Poly's Josh Lopez hit three 3-pointers over the final two minutes of the second quarter for a 32-32 halftime tie. Lopez scored 17 first-half points - including five 3-pointers - as several defenders took turns guarding him. But he was quieted in the second half and finished with 23. Riverside Poly probably would have preferred a slower pace. The visitors entered with an average of just 41.2 points allowed per game - the lowest in school history. Seven of its 21 victories this season have seen Riverside Poly hold opponents to fewer than 40 points; four finished with fewer than 30. ``We thought a faster pace would work tonight. I guess we were wrong,''Lopez said. The victory couldn't have come on a better night for Hart coach Tom Kelly People named Tom Kelly include:
