The highly-anticipated showdown between Long Beach Poly and Corona Centennial turned out to be a mismatch.

The top-seeded Jackrabbits (29-1) had no trouble carving up Centennial’s pressure defense and ran away with the Southern Section Division 1AA title with an impressive 68-52 victory at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Ryan Anderson made several highlight-reel dunks on his way to 18 points, Alexis Moore added 16, Alex Carmon had 12 and Roschon Prince scored seven of his 11 in garbage time for Poly, which led by as many as 22 points.

Michael Caffey scored 17 points, Gelaun Wheelwright had 13 and Dominique Dunning added 10 for the third-seeded Huskies (27-4), who were out-rebounded 43-16 and gave up 15 second-chance points.
