The California high school basketball pond is still rippling after Ridgeview's upset of North Hollywood-Harvard-Westlake on Tuesday.

But there's no rest for the excited: The Wolf Pack practiced Wednesday in preperation for its next game, at 7 tonight at No. 1 seed Gardena-Serra in the Southern Cal quarterfinals.

First, though, back to Tuesday. Senior guard Robert Roberts scored 36 points, 10 in the final 1:30 as the Wolf Pack erased a six-point deficit and stunned Harvard-Westlake, the state's No. 15 team according to Cal Hi Sports, 79-74 at Ridgeview in the first round of the Division III CIF State Basketball Championships.

Cal Hi Sports called the result "the upset of the night in the state" and catapulted Ridgeview to No. 7 in the state Division III rankings and No. 20 in Southern California overall.

"I've been around some pretty big wins in my 25 years," said coach Bobby Sharp, who won a state title as an assistant at Foothill.
