Fri., Feb. 24, 2012 7 10 IRVINE VALLEY MARAUDER GYM W 69-57 The Marauders reached the third round for the first time
since 2008. Jason Johnson scored 17 points to lead all.
Sat., Feb. 26, 2011 13 4 Citrus Glendora L 63-88 Things went as normal in the first half with both teams taking
control at various times. Then the wheels fell off for the
Marauders. They would not score a field goal in the first
five minutes and by then Citrus had gone on a 18-2 run.
Wed., Feb. 23, 2011 13 20 OXNARD MARAUDER GYM W 100-93 OT Oxnard was shooting 75 percent in the second half with
three minutes to go, but the Marauders figured a way to
tie the game and send it into overtime. After that it was all
Da’Shawn Gomez, who scored 32 points - 11 of those in
the overtime period.
Sat., Feb. 27, 2010 13 4 Irvine Valley Irvine L 63-72 The Lasers never trailed and the game never got beyond
10 points, but Irvine Valley was in charge the whole time.
Donald Williams ended his Marauder career with 19 points.
Wed., Feb. 24, 2010 13 20 MIRAMAR MARAUDER GYM W 74-66 The game marked the return of seven foot center De-
Wayne Dedmon from a fractured bone in his forehead and
he had 13 rebounds, but it was Nick Bennett’s 26 points,
especially his nine for 10 free throw shooting in the last two
minutes that game AVC the win.
Sat., Feb. 28, 2009 13 4 San Diego City San Diego L 78-80 OT It was the second time AVC had played in overtime in the
playoffs, and it was all because of a desperation heave
by Nehomiah Simpkins - only his third of the season - to
tie the game in regulation. To make matters worse, it was
Simpkins making only his second shot of the game to win
it in overtime. Raymond Cody ended his Maruder career
with a 19 point, 13 rebound effort.
Wed., Feb. 25, 2009 13 20 MOORPARK MARAUDER GYM W 67-47 The Marauders were tied at halftime but broke out in the
second half. Kyisean Reed set a school record with seven
blocks in the game.
Sat., Mar. 8, 2008 10 2 Fullerton Fullerton L 64-68 This one was tied with two minutes left, but a Hornet four
point play ended the Marauders’ hope of a second straight
trip to state.
Fri., Feb. 29, 2008 10 7 LA Southwest Los Angeles W 94-78 AVC jumped on the Cougars and wouldn’t let up, leading at
one point by 35 points. Raymond Cody scored 22 points
on a six for eight three point shooting night.
Sun., Mar. 11, 2007 3s 1n Fresno City Fresno L 77-90 It was the first time AVC played for the state title since
1956, but the efforts of the previous three days allowed the
Rams’ quick guards to penetrate and score when AVC got
the score down to three.
Sat., Mar. 10, 2007 3s 1s Ventura Fresno W 57-55 Marcellus Robertson pulled down 19 rebounds, but it was
hit block of the Pirate’s last second shot that gave AVC
their first trip to the state championship game since 1956.
Thu., Mar.4, 2007 3s 2n Ohlone Fresno W 71-69 Down nine points with 4:09 left, AVC’s defense held the
Renegades scoreless over the last four minutes, and Ade
Dagunduro fed Marcellus Robertson for three lay-ins,
including the game winner with 36 seconds left -- the first
time AVC led.
Sat., Mar. 3, 2007 9 17 SANTA ANA MARAUDER GYM W 76-75 Hosting because of Santa Ana’s upset of No. 1 Bakersfield,
the Marauders were in trouble and down by one with eight
seconds left. But Ade Dagunduro drove the length of the
court, was fouled with .3 second left and swished two free
throws for the win.
