Central East-Fresno beats St. Francis 76-63 in D-1 NorCal regional semifinal. Teams were forced to make last-minute venue switch due to power failure at Central East. @DarrenSabedra @nathancanilao @CB_Journalist @GReeves23

5 minutes before D-1 girls NorCal semifinal tip-off between St. Francis at Central East-Fresno, the power went out. Game being moved to Justin Garza HS. Not sure when will start. @DarrenSabedra @nathancanilao @CB_Journalist @GReeves23

5 minutes before tip-off of Division I girls’ basketball NorCal semifinal between No. 6 seed Central East and No. 7 Saint Francis (Mountain View), the power went out. It won’t come back on.

The game is now being moved to Justin Garza HS. It will start ASAP once teams drive over.

@KasselMedia Clayton went 0-3 vs. SI, Modesto Christian and Salesian. Lost those games by a total of 5 points. Tough break for Clayton, but think CIF made right decision.
