The road to the Final Four is a short one at Pacifica Christian.

Only four years after the school opened its doors, the Eagles’ boys’ basketball team has reached the semifinal round in Division VI-AA. The school has already won a Southern Section girls’ volleyball title and now hopes to further solidify its status as a fledgling small-school athletic power.

Third-seeded Pacifica Christian will play second-seeded Valley Torah at 8 p.m. Saturday at Culver City High after defeating sixth-seeded Capistrano Valley Christian, 64-38, in a quarterfinal.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
