BOYS’ ROUNDUP : Monroe Survives on Threes, Wins on a One

The long-range shooting of Monroe High senior guard Shaka Stiner saved the Vikings, The Times’ fifth-ranked team, from an upset in a Valley Pac-8 Conference basketball game Wednesday.

Monroe beat Poly, 69-68, thanks to Stiner’s two three-point baskets in the final 65 seconds and a free throw by Quincy Brooks with one second left.

With 1 minute 5 seconds left Stiner (21 points, five three-pointers) hit a jump shot from the wing to tie the game. Stiner hit another with 16 seconds left to give the Vikings (11-3, 2-0 in conference play) a three-point lead.

A three-pointer by Cameron Hilton tied the game for underdog Poly (6-7, 0-2), but then the Parrots fouled Brooks, who hit the front end of a one-and-one.
