Fairley raced past the Raiders, 66-51, in a consolation bracket game of the 20th annual Iolani Prep Classic. The Bulldogs, ranked No. 12 by the National Prep Basketball Poll, used 24 points from 6-foot-6 forward Reginald Owens and 17 points from 6-6 forward Anthony Mason to frustrate Iolani's undersized defense.

Fairley's 6-2 quicksilver guard Andrieus Loftis — the team's only senior — added 13 points, including nine in the pivotal third period when the Bulldogs stretched a 24-18 halftime lead into a 45-34 advantage.

Iolani (8-2) lost to USA Today's No. 7-ranked team, Montrose Christian (Rockville, Md.), 42-41 in overtime on Tuesday.

"I think Fairley is more athletic all-around than Montrose," said Iolani guard Derrick Low, who scored 17 points. "Montrose had some 6-9 guys, so Fairley is slightly shorter, but they're shooters and they're more active. That one guy (Owens) kept hitting fadeaway shots and No. 20 (Mason) was hitting all his shots, too."

Raiders forward Sean Carney, at 6-3 one of Iolani's tallest players, said "you could guard No. 44 perfectly, and he'd still make" baskets.

The Bulldogs shot 60 percent from the field and made 16 of 22 free throws (72.7 percent). Defensively, they pressured Iolani's 3-point shooters and blocked six shots in the paint.

Fairley lost to Mount Vernon (N.Y.), USA Today's No. 14-ranked team, 61-55, Wednesday.

"We shot well and were more relaxed than the other night," Bulldogs coach Sylvester Ford said. "We rose to the occasion and hit some big shots."

The Raiders, known for their deadly shooting, made only 6 of 23 shots (26.1 percent) from beyond the arc and were 17 of 47 (36.2 percent) from the field overall.

"My plan was to have our guys play up on them and not let them take open shots," Ford said. "Of course, No. 22 (Low) can do it all and score any way, but we wanted to make the other guys shoot off the dribble. We had heard about (Iolani) and that they are a good team, and they are. They would be excellent in Memphis; they could play with anybody over there. They're well-coached, patient and they run a good offense. The only real difference is the size."

Ryan Hirata, a 5-8 senior, added 17 points for the Raiders.

"I thought we executed our offense pretty well, but we had a tough time stopping them," Iolani coach Mark Mugiishi said. "At one point in the third quarter, they scored on seven possessions in a row. We would score a couple times, but their lead just grew. (Owens and Mason) hit tough shots, turnaround jumpers. Against Montrose our game plan carried us through, but today we didn't react well and had a hard time adjusting. It was a good learning experience."

Mount Vernon defeated Montrose, 64-53, in last night's first semifinal, and will play Oakhill, for the title tonight at 8. Oakhill advanced with a 78-55 rout of Fairfax in the other semifinal.
