Long Beach Poly has jumped to an early 19-11 lead over Fresno Clovis West at the end of the first quarter in the Southern California Division I regional championship on Saturday at the Galen Center.

The Jackrabbits have won four consecutive Division I state titles, and if they continue to play the way they’ve played in the first quarter, they’ll be competing in another state championship.

Poly has out-rebounded Clovis West, 15-6, and is outshooting the Eagles, 57.1% to 33.3%.
